Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

In other news, slumber parties with six little girls? Not for the faint of heart. I keep reminding myself I don't want to go to prison for stabbinating the bossiest, whiniest, loudest, most spoiled of them all.

My older sister's first slumber party (which was the first slumber party that our parents supervised, since my sister is their oldest kid), one of her friends had to go to the emergency room. She'd gotten up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom, tripped over something, and hit her head on the wall and was bleeding profusely. A few years later, at my sister's bat mitzvah, this same friend got a head wound again, in a pinata accident.

Because books.

Yeah, it's just the one girl, le nubian. They're all over excited and high on cupcakes, but this kid is unbelievable. She must have all the attention, all the time. We were playing a party game and she wanted to know what you get if you win. I told her the fun of playing, and then reminded her she'd already been given an invitation to a party, a treat bag, pizza, and cupcakes. That shut her up for all of two seconds. She pushed the youngest girl out of the way at least twice, and she's picked up Cortez at least a dozen times although I told them all (and her specifically, three times) that we DO NOT PICK UP the cats.

She is the nightmare example of entitled children who have never been told no, and never been expected to exhibit courtesy. And the thing is? Her mom is lovely -- bright, professional, funny.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

Gah, Amy. I can't blame you for wanting to stabbinate her.

Hil, that is some kind of bad luck. Did that girl accept any more invitations to your sister's parties after that?

I was the kid who woke up at 2 am sobbing and had to be taken home.

(In fairness to young-me, it was the year after my grandfather died, my other grandmother having died the summer before. I had a few Issues.)

Hil: That girl should never be without a helmet of some sort.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Merry Xmas, Allyson!

LOVE!

Also, Aquaman can kill the Green Lantern simply by peeing in the pool.

Not unless he pees bullets. Yellow just neutralizes GL powers. But GL could kill Aquaman though prolonged mouth-to-mouth.

Aquaman has essentially the same powers as Sponge Bob Squarepants.
