Although I normally think the Brits are more reasonable than those of us in the United States — colored by characters like Mary Poppins and enhanced by the British Broadcasting Network — I have been utterly proven wrong. It seems that people all over the world are complete idiots when it comes to sensitive topics like, [...]

No Makeup — No Problem!

The conversation usually goes something like this:
Me: Look at how cute she is (watching my 2-year-old niece)

My husband: We already have one [...]
