Hehe, eyeshadow-primer? That’s a new one. Is it liquid or powder? One of mine (the dumb one) loves foot cream. I think I’ve finally gathered that he likes the peppermint oil in it. But apparently that’s sort of poisonous to cats, so now I have another reason to tell him not to lick my toes, other than it being very…

You’re a really good cat parent to make them nip tea. I’ve never even heard of it. Cats are very conservative. I’m convinced they flat out refuse to acknowledge the existence of anything that wasn’t introduced to them in kitten-hood.

Not ashamed to say I’d actually like to buy this for my cats. Not that it would matter, though, as they are ungrateful bastards who never like anything I buy for them as a treat, but will enthusiastically eat dried yoghurt off of wayward spoons under my bed.

Nope, Swedish. But I’d venture a guess we got our word from you guys. It’s stelkramp in Swedish. The Germanic languages does have it down when it comes to naming things that are less than pleasant.

I’m a little less eloquent. I just thought, “huh, maybe the kid isn’t unusually smart. Maybe it just seems that way to you because you’re stupid”.

Tetanus is horrible. My high school biology book featured a picture of a young boy who had fallen victim to it. His entire body was contorted, but the worst thing was his face. It looked like the faces on the dug up, mummified bodies out of Pompeii. I’ve never been able to forget it.

Well, you know...I understand the impulse. I tend to get very lost when it comes to beauty regiments (I don’t have any), so it’s tempting to buy the whole package. Would I (also in my thirties) go for Kylie Jenner? Probably not...

Same here!

Probably. I’ve never known anyone to buy a pair of shoes that they saw on instagram, but I know plenty of people who get their skincare/haircare “recommendations” that way. I’ve heard people say “oh, X has oily skin like me and uses Y product so I’m going to pick it up”, and I’ve heard “X always talks about her issues…

That was my point- having sex doesn’t make a man. Loyalty, self-sacrifice and self-relianace does. I’d be a million times more interested to hear about those traits instead.

Yeah, get back to me when you’re holding down a job you hate because you need to help your mom out with her medical bills. Or when you stay up five consecutive nights with an ill infant. Or when you fix your own roof because you can’t afford to pay someone to do it and you don’t even complain about it even though you…

Is that Taylor? Huh. Weird. I don’t like it, but I don’t think either of them will be losing sleep over my disapproval.

Yes, true. That probably goes for the dog and the rug as well, now that I think about it. Afghans are okay in my book.

Can we add Chelsea Handler to the list? Those three just seem like the ultimate mean girls to me.

Born in Afghan. Okay, sure... Blanket, rug or dog?

I will freely admit to having used this trick when camping. It works well and also smells good.

I feel you! I am also carrying high, and baby likes to kick my sore stomach muscles. My physical therapist told me the diastasis recti might be acerbated or even caused by the symphysis pubis dysfunction. Basically, when your pelvis is unstable it puts more force on your back and stomach muscles. They then tire out…

Oh god, the diastasis recti. Every doctor I speak to tell me it shouldn’t hurt while pregnant, although perhaps after. But I am in such pain from it on my right side that I’m prescribed a narcotic to be able to sleep at night. August can definitely not come quick enough.

God yes. I have told my husband that when we get home from the hospital, I expect cold white wine and a fuckload of brie and camembert.

Congrats! Also, I’m super envious.
