Spike's Bitches 40: Buckle Up, Kids! Daddy's Puttin' the Hammer Down.
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
My son is cross dressing again this morning. He's wearing a hot pink Tinkerbell t-shirt and a flowery skirt. He tells me his name is Ella today. Meanwhile Frances tells me she's pretending to be his pregnant teacher (there was a rash of pregnancies at their daycare a while back).

I remember pretending to give birth a lot, when my mom was pregnant with my sister, and I had just found out where babies come from...(I was four)

Grammar Question:
I have been reading incorrect student sentences for an hour and am getting mush brain. "The fight between her father and her" or "The fight between she and her father"?

"I'm useless alone." // "We're all useless alone. It's a good thing you're not alone."
It's an object of the preposition, right? It would be "The fight between them," so it should be "between her and her father."

That's what I thought, but it just kept looking wrong, for some reason. Okay, then the second question... The student wrote "her father and her," and clearly "her and her father" reads more fluently. But is it grammatically any more valid?
Yes, I teach English. Fear for the children of America.

"I'm useless alone." // "We're all useless alone. It's a good thing you're not alone."
I don't think there's a gramatical argument for it. It's just a question of clarity and flow.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
In cases like these, I chicken outgo for the diplomatic option of rephrasing: "The fight she had with her father..."

Yeah, I think it was flirting. Meara with rumpled hair = hot.
