They'll have a Nate Phelps eventually. And I look forward to that glorious day.

I don't know why everything I've read about this reports that Jill is getting married when it's very clearly Jessa.

God I hate Josh so much.

This will explain everything you need to know.

"Within an hour of them being exposed or dealing with this, there's a few issues here, I think these kids are too young for this issue, so that's our main focus is, if it happens in older grades, high school, ok but too young for this."

Yep. My children have only met one trans person so far - the lady who works the jewelry kiosk at the mall where they buy their assorted Monster High headbands. My 2 youngest just read her as female, and that was it. My oldest said "She is beautiful, but when she speaks, she sounds like a man" and I explained to her…

When I was in high school, my friend's science teacher transitioned over the summer. She returned to school in September to some raised eyebrows, and absolutely some insensitive whispers in the hallway (what do you expect from teenagers?!) but absolutely not one sliver of any rumours relating to her qualification…

I will NEVER understand the "my child is too young to have this conversation" people. Like, really, your child is too young to talk about how some people look different from other people. If you really think your kid is too young to have a discussion about gender then fine, whatever (your kid, your choice), but how…

If you can't answer your child's questions about gender and sexuality (in an age-appropriate manner) by the time they're in fifth grade. . .I don't know what to tell you. YOU are the problem. Not the sub. My second-grade age niece has a teacher who happens to be transgender. It's a complete non-issue for her and…

"We're going to have a meeting, we're all going to talk about you, and then we're all going to vote to see if you should still have a job." UGH.

"I'm an immature jackass who can't handle people who are different so I'm pushing those insecurities on to my child, who likely doesn't even realize that his teacher is transgender and wouldn't have a negative outlook on the situation if I hadn't taught him to."

I tried to call in as my mom, and it went horribly wrong! I was calling from upstairs in my room on my own line. Downstairs, there was a phone with both my parent's line and my line. My mom had a habit of picking up my line when she saw I was on the phone, to tell me something.

Ha! I made sure my brother was one of my emergency contacts in high school so the office would ask who I needed to call when I wanted to go home early, and I'd have them call him. Bless him — I don't think he ever really thought about it as a scam. Just thought his sister was a weirdo sick person.

"Somewhere, I learned to shut that first reaction off."

I remember being in kindergarten and some other goody two-shoes girl said "I NEVER lie" as it had come up for some reason and the whole class of five year olds were talking about lying like it was the worst thing ever (which I guess you're taught at that age) and how they're good kids and they never do it. I just…

After repeatedly holding up checks to windows to trace over her signature I got to the point where I could forge my mom's handwriting and even she couldn't tell the difference. I think that from 6th grade on my schools may have never seen my mother's actual writing.

Lindy, if I ever figure out what voodoo my mom employed to get me to fill the ice cube trays before putting them back, I'll let you know. That woman somehow trained me so hard on doing it, I even do it at parties. Friends have caught me refilling the trays at their houses when I didn't even realize I was doing it.…

I found out I was a damn good liar in third and can still remember it to this day. Every Friday, we would take home progress report sheets where you would have a frown face or a smiley face circled with a comment area. These needed to be signed by a parent every weekend and brought back on Monday to turn in. Well I…
