a 17 year old pregnant daughter would NOT cause the same stir.
Actually, it would only bug me if the male candidate believed in abstinence only sex ed. and it only bugs because I prefer a candidate with a grasp of reality
Say! look at you! You look just like me! We're very pretty.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
A male VP candidate with a 4 month old Downs baby and a 17 year old pregnant daughter would NOT cause the same stir.
I'd like to think the pregnant daughter would cause the same issue. I don't get the Down's stir, so I can't comment on it.
Watching 90210 I think my favourites are easy ones: Naveed and Ryan. I totally loved Linda Gray but I doubt we'll see that much of her. And how obvious was it that the pentapus was going to show up again?
Oddly I'm noticing our lead adults switch sides in bed.

yes, the child that has downs syndrome isn't really an issue for me. Not sure why it is to anyone.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

I'm with you there, but I think people who *really* believe that God only sends you what you can bear tend to sanctify parents of children with special needs. "Oh how brave." "Aren't you just so strong." "What a loving, caring mom." Parents of special needs kids are "better people," somehow, than parents of regular old kids.
It isn't pretty, damnit, but it's there. Especially among church folk.

Totally love Naveed. It's not as fun as Gossip Girl, but I enjoyed it.

Am I really going to have to watch GG for my proper fix of the genre?
Ryan's totally textbook for his role of hot youngish teacher, but I can't help myself.

Also: shrift, yay for exciting first day!
Banana muffins for the Gutter Twins commune a friend is hosting at her place are in the oven, and most things are prepared. It actually took longer than 10 minutes to pack, because all of the excitement.
Also, gonna meet Nilly sometime within the next 48 hours. Ice cream will be involved. Days of yayness are upon us, fucking finally.
