My brother and I - those wrapped Christmas presents that were carefully hidden in boxes in the loft in the garage were no match for us. Ladder, flashlight, scotch tape and about 15 minutes.....the secret was to bring down only a gift or two at a time so if someone was coming we would just throw them behind the barrel…

"He took it out"

I opt for not buying them at all. Kids get crawl/climb/figure out the way in to every place in the home. What adults spend two seconds thinking about, they spend half their afternoon. "Oh I'll just put this on the highest shelf behind the dog biscuits". Yeah well, the kid has already figured out how to push the chair…

Makes sense. They don't fall down. Anyone who wore knee socks in catholic school will attest to that.

Sea otters are way cuter than river otters anyway. Who said that?

Me. Now. Please.

It was just such a weird book and the picture certainly didn't help.

I would never be late. I would be early. I would never ever leave.

OMG! Thank you. Childhood memory!

If I can't come back as a spoiled house cat I totally want to be reincarnated as one of these. They float on their backs and use their tummies as food trays. This is me on a Sunday afternoon in front of Netflix.

The only people exited about weddings are the two people getting married and maybe their parents. No one else cares. Sitting in a hard pew or folding chair for an hour and a half. Waiting waiting waiting waiting for the reception to begin. Sitting elbow to elbow with people you don't particularly like eating food that…

Not at all. I think there's a long distance between being just one of 300 million voters and being the sole person who has control over all out nuclear war.

Ha ha. Best comment of the day.

Exactly, when people are ashamed of their values and try to hide them they lose every time.

I know! Dems have completely lost control of the media and just let themselves be attacked without so much as a fight. Did we hear anything about the republicans shutting down the government which was wildly unpopular. Not a thing. Did we hear about Republican governors refusing to expand Medicaid (which is…

As a former person of 25, 30, and 35 - no way. I didn't even start understanding what life was about until 35. Hell if I'd put a person who was barely out of their twenties in charge of a nuclear arsenal. It's bad enough that Dubya controlled them for 8 years, imagine if it was Dubya under the age of 35? We'd be dead.

Ummm, not to be an ass here, but..........basic reading comprehension skills go a long way in addressing this problem.

Yes, and eventually the city council and school board members eventually work their way up to national positions. That's how we got Sarah Palin. Nip these crazies in the bud.

It always creeps me out when men are this preoccupied with the status of their daughters' hymens. For people who somehow love "purity" they think about sex an awful lot.

It will also make kids despise the sound of a camera shutter.
