Did I lie to my parents as a teen? Yes of course. Do I expect my son to never lie to me? Well it would be nice if he didn't, but so would zero calorie milkshakes.
All children lie. Some less, some more, but all lie on occasion. I taught first grade for 18 years. At this age some kids still have some fantasy thinking going on, and sometimes they truly believe what they are saying even if they know you saw the opposite. "But I just SAW you do it. Just now." "I didn't do…
I'm 26 & lucked out & kinda was unlucky at the same time. My mom was nurturing, encouraging, honest, encouraged honesty & openness about everything. If I fucked up, she'd be WAAAY more mad if I lied to her about it than if I told her I fucked up & would accept the punishment. My father on the other hand was dumb,…

I don't get the people who have problems with this. It makes no sense.
That's nice and worthwhile of course, but given the mountains of government subsidies to the agroindustry that help generate the raw materials of which junk food is mostly made, this seems too little. I know she's not the president, but you can't really push people to eat their vegetables (especially not the…
food doesn't judge you for loving it.
I saw the headline and thought that Michelle Obama was throwing junk food at celebrities.
This is wonderful and I hope the conservatives can not be stupid this time. Verrrry minor quibble: is Michelle Obama really a "celebrity" (as implied by the "other" in the headline)? I love Kristin Bell, but surely Obama is a step above Alba and all her fancy, expensive diapers, no?
Misspoke is the new word for racist asshole.
