Big Sister & Proud of It

14 hours ago ago from The NeuroChiq

Some X years ago, I was the bunso (youngest), only girl and Dad's fave. I was living the big brat life, until that one fateful day when my parents announced their split up.

51 minutes ago ago from History Eraser Button

I've been thinking about my parents. Last week I turned 30. When my mom and dad were 30, they were providing for and raising a 10-month-old and a 3-year-old (me). By contrast, my biggest responsibility is taking care of a cat. This week I read that Sesame Workshop is publishing some free e-books for children. One of them is “ The Monster at the End of This Book ,” first printed in 1971. I have dim memories of this book being read to me ...
