Yes! So many people would rather police behavior than develop a personality. When my husband and I started dating, I lived in a college neighborhood. One night, some frat guys on a second-story porch called him a fa***t, and I thought “he’s the only one guaranteed to get laid with a woman tonight.”

Yes! My sister-in-law made two versions of the same punch, one with rum and one without. So easy to just choose the one that worked for you.

Boy names are impossible. The only ones my husband and I would agree on were Calvin and Philip. Our son was Philip for a half-hour, but then I was worried I went with that one just because of all the Philips equipment in the hospital.

I get it. I don’t feel it when it’s just family, but I very much do when we socialize with other family friends. Both my mother and sister are markedly smaller than me, and I‘ve gotten so many weird comments about how tiny they are. And of course I’ve been congratulated when I’m not pregnant.

Womp. The back end of those systems can be so flimsy. A few years ago, I didn’t get my order because the restaurant‘s website sent orders to a fax machine, and that device had run out of paper. Blew my mind.

Yes! It’s that McKinsey in him. I’ve seen it in so many lawyers and b-school types. Not a great inherent sense of right and wrong—they need to be contained to certain tasks.

I remember being 12 watching My So Called Life and wondering how she did it. 30+ years later, she remains the premiere chin actor of our time.

The age of first-time homebuyers is increasing and life expectancy…isn’t. Such a disaster in the making.
