I’m bringing food and a big sister gift for the baby. But no I’m not encouraging nonsense.

I was in middle school when Diana died, and I remember my mom and I waking up for the funeral, we watched William get married together (on DVR tho). We discuss the Royals at length on the regular. We’re making a viewing plan but yeah she’s vetoing the hats.

MY SIL is days away from having her 2nd kid, she has a 7 year old and I totally see her getting involved with MLMs in a dream to work from home. She already had a foray with $20 toothpaste that I refused to buy. My MIL (who is very sweet and just wants everyone to be happy) pulled me aside and asked me to buy a couple…

You can’t just watch one or two. It’s not possible.

I think I’m going to have to nix the hats and show up with pizza. It’s funny I’m the history person for my mom. She watched Downton Abbey in one shot about six months ago. I was fielding many text messages about the time period.

Damn you’re right. We wore tiaras when we watched the DVR’d coverage of William and Kate’s wedding.

Watching the original Parent Trap even as a kid I thought Maureen O’Hara stole the show. The scene where meets the fiancee in her ex-husbands bathrobe is hilarious

My mom is the only person in my life who both lives locally and watches The Crown. She rejected my idea that we wear fancy hats, have high tea and binge-watch Season 2.

I just messaged my BFF and told her one of us was supposed to be Oprah so the other could be her Gayle. We realized we were each content with being the Gayle and that was the flaw in the plan.

The eyes though I think he has to get from Frank.

Oh absolutely a scene where Eleven demolishes Max’s super terrible stepfather and Max shakes some sense into her mother as a team needs to happen.

I think that will definitely happen. But Smurfette syndrome is real at that age and I thought that was fantastic. Also the two girls were adorable in an interview together.

Eleven just completely dismissing Max was perfection. My friend who’s a middle-school teacher said in reality Eleven would have choked Max out.

What is it like to meet Chris Hansen in person? You seem like the best person to ask.

Wow. Spot the creeper was super easy tonight!

Speaking as an actual teen of that time, we were texting, we had aim and livejournals. It was proto social media but literally the only difference is less photos.

I only bring it up because unless it’s story related, I don’t see THAT much of a difference from ‘02 to now. Versus something like Mad Men which was about a very specific time period.

I feel like the Megyn Kelly audience that isn’t hate-watching are the type to call a father home alone with the kids baby-sitting, and like cream themselves if a man does a load of laundry. As opposed to recognizing it as basic adult functions.

So I graduated high school in ‘03. So my high school years are officially considered a nostalgic time period? I was not mentally prepared for that. Is it set in ‘02 for a specific reason? Or am I just in denial about how old I am?

People used to complain about Chloe Grace Moretz getting all these crazy designer hookups when she was young. I never understood the hate. All the kids have a distinct style at shows even the boys which is harder when suits are so structured.
