Jane Jakubczak, a registered dietician and nutritionist at the University of Maryland at College Park's health center, agrees. "Have your child lead the conversation," she suggests. "She will probably bring it up."

Jesus. Just reading this brings back waves of paranoia about visits home for holiday breaks.

@Pega Corn: I know, he really is a Charles. No Di genes for that boy.

I still feel bad for Kate Middleton. Here she's been getting hotter and hotter and more and more polite and well-behaved while her never-proposing-boyfriend has been quickly aging into a not very attractive high school health teacher. And then! Just when he reaches the apex of health teacher-ly aging! He proposes!…

@Hooplehead: ::: Hands over ears :::: I do not hear you saying this.

Everyone: please stop hating on this so I can continue reveling with absolute joy. No nay-saying! This is a good thing!

@thebutton19: I mean, I politely but completely disagree. ;)

@thebutton19: You're fired.

I really need to share a vehement sense of racism in store with the "What Not To Wear" advertised new tonight...basically looks like "let's make fun of young black women and talk about how they dress like prostitutes!!"

I love you, UCONN.

I'm torn as to whether I think this blogger is legit or is just a girl in desire of a book deal. The ugly design of the thing makes me sway toward the former.

Isn't it more likely that the order of operations is backwards here...that kids that are up to no good are texting more because they have busier social calenders to coordinate?

@ZippyTheLangoustine: Touche!

Didn't Winona Ryder teach us the many wonderful ways to exploit parentally-provided cards (of any type) in Reality Bites?

You know, I took the GRE twice and after that I thought it should be outlawed, but nobody listened.

@Queenjulie: Yeah yeah yeah that's it. Is Dancing Outlaw better?
