I always feel really bad thinking this, but I agree with you. Homeschooling was common in the area where I grew up — and even in my family. All those kids had a LOT of trouble relating to/interacting with their peers socially when they got to college.

I am so so so tempted to link this story to everyone I saw post things on Facebook about how, “Not being bigoted against transgendereds, but I swim at the YMCA and take my kids into the locker rooms! We deserve to be protected from transgendered sickos and men pretending to be women, who will no doubt come into the…

I do a dance (zouk), which involves a bend-forward and roll up move (see example below).

Well, if dad picks it, ya gotta go with it! I was worried my dad was going to pick “Friends in low places,” personally.

Gah. Cave diving. My fiance’s cousin died scuba diving. I was already in the “nope” category when it comes to spending more time under water than is natural, but that put me in the “Fuck no, never” category.

OK, so for real: I was baby-sitting my friend’s kid who expects a song before bed. First thing that popped into my head was Bieber’s “Love yourself,” and so that is what I sang. And the little guy just curled up and went to sleep.

STAHP. I can’t cry at work. OMG that is just so perfect.

My MIL surprised me by picking a perfect song. “Top of the World” by the Carpenters. Apparently, she listened to it a lot when she was pregnant? In any case, flawless choice. I was worried.

OK but for real, that’s kind of the best. Like, the best for everyone watching that.

That song is PERFECT in every way. I think that’s what I would have picked too for father-daughter dance, but it was played at my cousin’s funeral (he died young). Somehow the song was perfect for that, too. It’s just the best song.

OK but Bing Crosby? Always good. Cannot go wrong with Bing Crosby.

Were you at the wedding last year in fucking New York, where the maid of honor decided to sing “Rock me mama” to the bride in lieu of giving a speech and expected everyone to join in and clap, and everyone just sat there in confusion? Because, if so, then yes we do. You probably saw me laugh-crying into my burlap…

My cousin used “Butterfly kisses,” and the DJ was like, “Heeeyyyoooo, the bride wants to invite ALL fathers and daughters onto the floor to dance!” And I had to dance to that song with my dad. I was 14 and wanted to die.

Holy fucking SHIT. This is our first-dance song too, and we are getting married in TWO WEEKS. And we also heard it in the Rachel McAdams movie, which I remember sucking, but the song was pretty, so we took it. There’s an Ellie Goulding version, too, but it was just a little *too much.*

I really do. One of my fiance’s dearest friends just danced to it as his wedding, and they looked so sweet, but that song really makes me want to break things.

My friends played “Black and Yellow” at their wedding for the same reason.

We came *thisclose* to doing “Glory of Love” from Karate Kid II for our song. Thisclose.

I want to steal your wedding and make it mine.

My cousin used this for her wedding in 1998, when the song was new. So, I’d say it’s now officially “retro in a good way.” I can tell you that, as a guest, I’d be at the edge of the dance floor weeping and singing every word, so there’s that.

This isn’t a First dance song, but if I go to one more wedding with that obnoxiousLumineers Edward Sharp and The Magnetic Zeros song (“ALABAMA ARKANSAS I DO LOVE MY MA AND PA”) I’m going to.. Roll my eyes. Hard.
