The mom was just trying to show what a good mom she is. She's on top of her kids' behavior. She cares. And that's why she'll make them cry at my house on Christmas. It's already a perfect day. There are the traditional champagne and strawberries and bagels and lox. There is the traditional Christmas Pineapple. There is the traditional Season Three of Game of Thrones! We have made sure it is paused at a boobless scene with an unaccountable lack of throat blood, because children are coming! Hooray!
Gifts are the real weapons in The War that <i>is</i> Christmas: Join this! Exercise that! Dress more like this! Improve your mind with this book!
Of course the children are going to be collaterally damaged in this kind of jihad. They&#039;re lucky they only had to witness an inter-generational battle of wills. In fact it&#039;s instructional, so that they can have the same struggle with their offspring one day.
For instance, at dinner last night we had <i>Signora_Quarantenova</i>&#039;s son arriving looking like he&#039;d just finished ISIS Basic Training, whereas a friend&#039;s son sported Sir-Francis-Drake-level facial hair and recounted in excruciating detail how he&#039;d been thrown out of a bar because he tipped over half the bar setup on the barmaid who sprayed him with the soda gun after telling him to get out. College boys both&mdash;no W2 jobs on the horizon, but they&#039;re only 30. Whaddya gonna do?

Nothing makes me angrier than that &quot;children are so resilient&quot; bullshit.
Mrs. FwC suffered through a horrible childhood being raised by a narcissist. The fact that she turned into an amazing beautiful soul foes not mean her childhood had no cost: Missed opportunities due to fear and lack of confidence, ongoing depression, even shortened telomeres (as research has revealed).
Children are the product of their upbringing, and if you bring one into the world then you damn well better take the responsibility seriously.
No shit! Look how that happyfacetime thing turned out. Apparently all it does is sit around and watch tv all day.
To be fair, it can be hard to tell the difference between a bad perfume and a good mace.
Probation ain&#039;t bad. My 14-year-old will be eligible for parole next month.
Please tell us that grandma wasn&#039;t practicing taxidermy when she made those creepy kittens.
The intro, right? Or the credits at the end?
I remember those rabbits from the Texas Chainsaw Massacre. Awesome love and joy in your house Editorix.
I&#039;m just amazed that you found a spot in GoT that didn&#039;t have boobs or throat blood...

Wait....whut???
Next to the gunz, for safety.
I had issued an open invitation...
You mean you don&#039;t read all my facebook posts?
When did you get a husband? Why was I not informed of this?!?!?

My internet service was off for 5 months up till 2 weeks ago. Is there any cake left?
I did and it was. Living in Central Texas I consider any event that takes place in actual real snow pretty special.
