Mindful of the fact that we won't be back until spring, I asked her to just cut his head on his hair short rather than in a poodley poof. He looks a bit silly like this, but it should limit how much scissor trimming we have to do between now and then.

my teenage years were fucked up enough, thank goodness I was spared that purity bullshit.

Hear, hear.

the purity pledge thing was kind of weird. there were girls promising their fathers this, but i didn't hear of boys promising their mothers the same.

outside of the jonas brothers, who had purity rings. they've since admitted that they didn't honor their pledges.

You say weird, I say inherently misogynistic... same diff.
