Yes. I also fantasize about it being a story on This American Life

OMG. That would be kind of awesome. But then, think of the newbies.

whose? TV Tropes? Is it wrong if I don't care? We all had to learn it...why shouldn't they? I should sic David Simon on him...they could have a war of words that lasted for *years*, I mean, unless my fictional husband wanted to destroy him early and put out his corpse as a warning to others.(Um, not that I fantasize about it or anything. But it's still kind of news to Simon(And his shiny...well, actually, fucking grimy and downbeat, new blog, that people talk a lot of crap on the internet. I think he would HATE knowing how much worse it could get and that he took my and several others' Wire-love in vain to spread his bullshit.)

Ok, so. Eve Ensler is flying into Lansing on Monday and along with a bunch of female members of the state legislators is doing a performance of The Vagina Monologues at the capitol building. I totally want to go, and I think it would be fantastic for Em, but I admit I am worried a bit about the language in the monologues.

Would I be shirking my motherly duty in teaching her that her ladyparts aren't a dirty word and shouldn't be considered thus if I drop her at my sister's house nearby and go?

I don't know...how old is she now?

She is seven.

Nah, it's pretty adult in various ways, as I recall.

Same here and there are certain things I am just not ready to explain yet.

Pro: Good experience, probably a good memory even if she doesn't know what it all Means yet. Con: Might be hard to explain that they say stuff she can't say in school and at Grandma's. Analysis: It's probably good I don't have kids right now.

I find your analysis faulty in that you have listed pros and cons and gave it thought.

And no, she already gives the flipping hairstylist ALL the lowdown on Doctor Who. The last thing I need is for her to give someone a dissertation on The Woman Who Loved to Make Vaginas Happy.
