I’ve never liked Ayn Rand — and this tongue in cheek story reminds me why…
When little Aiden toddled up our daughter Johanna and asked to play with her Elmo ball, he was, admittedly, very sweet and polite. I think his exact words were, “Have a ball, peas [sic]?” And I’m sure you were very proud [...]

And the Bible is right:

Abused child or no big deal? Meet Abby Sunderland, the 16 year old girl who was “missing” for 3 days as she tried to sail around the world solo. Her parents are catching flak for putting their “child” in “danger” — for essentially being bad parents. From The Guardian:

The last kid from Indonesia who smoked is our dear leader. This kid smokes 2 packs a day. I don’t know whether to be appalled or amazed. I think I’m both. From the Daily Mail:

So we’re getting ready for school this morning and my 10 year old son looks at my 4 year old (pictured above) son and says, “You’re mean.” 4-year old sets his face and says “Why? Because of this?!?” (followed by a kick to the left shin) “Or because of this?!?” (swiftly followed by [...]

I spent the Christmas weekend up at my sister’s house in Monroe, Connecticut. It’s a lovely town a little north of Bridgeport, and the first taste of real New England you get when you’re driving north from New York City.
There are beautiful hills and woods, churches and gazebos, lovely leaves in the fall and there [...]

We all understand the dangers of posting personal information on the internet, right? The biggest danger is that some big-schnozed Chicago Polack is going to use it as comedic fodder. I am sorry. I truly am. But, it’s in my contract and Floyd and Rufus won’t let me out of it.

This woman was arrested for breastfeeding while intoxicated.
From the report:
Grand Forks Police Department officers watched as an “extremely intoxicated” Anvarinia “began breast feeding her infant in front of us,” according to an incident report. Since alcohol can pass from mother to child via breast milk, Anvarinia was arrested for neglecting her six-week-old infant.
A little overkill. [...]
