"Well, we broke up a couple months before the birth because he was hitting me, but then he died in a motorcycle accident two months after she was born, so that sucks because she'll never get to meet her daddy and I'm still living with my parents, but GOSH, SHE"S SO CUTE AND I LOVE HER (CUE ADORABLE PICTURES!!"))
OMG, I saw that in the nail place, and had no idea who these people were, or why I needed to be updated on their lives.
I truly think the teenage mind just can't possibly grok the enormity of what's going on.
I think this is true of teens in general. (There was a recent Feministe thread where a commenter got indignant at the number of "Oh man, I remember being that age" comments and loudly declared that, as a 19 year-old, she was offended by the ageism on display and anyway, people don't mature very much after the age of 26, SO THERE. Nobody was able to rebut her because everyone in-thread over the age of 30 had died laughing.)
And just in case anyone has mistaken me for a mature adult who is qualified to raise children, I MUST HAVE THIS FOR THE NEW BABY.
Kat around? you use Pampers or Boudreaux's?
I don't... with Grace we use Huggies and we've been butt paste free. I really need to get Grace potty trained, but it seems like this giant insurmountable hurdle.
BTW, Jessica, I'm getting rid of several BumGenius and another brand. Do you need any?
Buy Green Stamps
Do you all remember the stamps that grocery stores used to give out and you'd paste into a booklet and get prizes? Did that happen in my childhood or is it something I read about only? I think we did it when I was really young, for dishes maybe.
I was obsessed with the full booklets of Green Stamps my grandmother had around, but I think it was already too late to redeem them at that point. That or she just wouldn't let me.
I LOVE the bots for tots!
Jessica, could you cobble one together with a Wii Balance board, a Roomba (for the something-in-the-way sensor) and a Bumbo?
If she doesn't, I'm going to.
Oh hell no! You can still redeem green stamps: [link]
Apparently the Jamaican Prime Minister wants to meet one-on-one with my father.
Huh.
Nice, ita! Your father's fancy.
Dag, Kat. I bet my grandmother threw them away.
