Funny Signs
I have been having a lot of fun looking at silly things. I know I’m wasting a lot of time, but it is really addicting! This one earned a giggle from me.
I can relate to this next one with all of the dental work I’ve been getting lately. This is a very clever sign for a dentist office!
You should spend waste some time looking at the funny signs, too!
What People Think When You Have 4 Kids
I will soon have four kids. Therefore you assume that I:
1. Am Mormon or Catholic
2. Like to have sex but don’t know how to use birth control
3. Have plans to start my own farm and therefore need a cheap/free child labor force
I know you’re thinking this because I have thought these things. There is no reason to have more than three kids. TV has taught me this with all-American shows like Modern Family, Roseanne, Different Strokes,The Simpsons, Family Ties, Family Matters, and Growing Pains. These shows illustrate three is the normal number for a family. If you have more than three it’s the whole premise of the show (see The Brady Bunch or the ever expanding Duggar family).
The lesson is clear: Big families are freak shows.
The only explanations for having a big family are the ones I listed at the top of this…

The Man Booker Prize Longlist 2014: Where Are the Women?
In 1996, Kate Mosse established what is now the Bailey’s Women’s Prize for Fiction in response to the 1991 Booker Prize all-male shortlist (this was prior to the release of longlisted titles) in a year when 60% of novels published were written by females. Since then, the prize has been subjected to criticism over the decision to make it a women only award, criticism that has only increased in recent years as Hilary Mantel and Eleanor Catton have gone on to win the Booker from shortlists which had gender parity. Unfortunately today’s longlist has demonstrated exactly why the Women’s Fiction Prize is so important.
