If you hold back laughter in a church or classroom, every subsequent silly notion is that much funnier until you run the risk of bursting into snorts.
Ego depletion also explains the giggle loop!

You know what, mommy? Vampires are my favorite persons. They drink people's blood, and they have the sharpest teeth. That's what makes them so interesting.
Dear Matilda, I love you very very much. Also, reading this while listening to "Vampires Will Never Hurt You" by MCR makes it even better.
Has she heard the song "The Awful Truth" by Carol King, from the Really Rosie album? The one about becoming Mrs. Dracula, also known as one of wee Jilli's favorite songs? I think she'd like it.

Also: JZ, may I post that quote of Matilda's on my Tumblr? I will attribute it to "one of my favorite kidlings". (Wait, how old is Matilda nowadays?)

Since she's busy at work so I'll grant parental consent.

You can use her name if you want. She's 5 and a half.

Because books.
Is the Criminal Minds with Frankie Muniz one of the really disturbing ones? I just turned it on.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
Oh hey, so the Vatican continues on its current trajectory toward turning its back on the flock:
“I’m stunned,” said Sister Simone Campbell, executive director of Network, a Catholic social justice lobby founded by sisters. Her group was also cited in the Vatican document, along with the Leadership Conference, for focusing its work too much on poverty and economic injustice, while keeping “silent” on abortion and same-sex marriage.
And while the Vatican was investigating the Leadership Conference, the Vatican was also conducting a separate, widespread investigation of all women’s religious orders and communities in the United States.

Investigating them for what? Not enough poverty and celibacy?

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
for focusing its work too much on poverty and economic injustice, while keeping “silent” on abortion and same-sex marriage.
OH FOR FUCK'S SAKE.

Investigating them for what?
Getting too uppity.
