| Sorry if this thread is a few days old. Looking back now, I see that I had three different types of play: Friends-play Brother-play After-dark When I played with other kids my age, play was usually very rigidly scripted - I'd play the same scene over and over with different people. Imaginative play ... |

I just need a little bit of help. I used to go to a really good private school - you know, the types where you're mor... |

| Today in science class one of my close friends told me her old math teacher died. My friend joined the school in September, so I never met the teacher. However she was quite obviously upset. As in, crying, etc. What's the appropriate response? I generally just said 'I'm sorry. If you want some genui... |

| Three really is the most magic of numbers. Even I am divided up into three parts. The crazy, the perfect, and the different. All three of us have different names, I guess. The crazy doesn’t have a name; that’s kinda her name - she’ll respond to anything you throw at her. The crazy doesn’t really fit... |

| It's kinda hard to read. I'm using Chrome, and most of your post just keeps going down the page, past the white, so it's on the washing machines. I've seen this before and I think it has to do with the 'div' properties in the code. Anyways, I can read the blog if I highlight the words, going to read... |

If you don't want to spend your vacations with your grandmother, tell her you already have other plans. I've tried. We all have. She really doesn't understand that c... |

Just to explain, I have five grandparents, since two of them got divorced and one's remarried. My mom's parents are fine with the idea. I like both of them, and they like me in ... |

| I once got lost in the middle of a five-block or ten-block tourist market in Hong Kong. So yeah, I've been known to do stuff like that on occasion. But, it's really hard to get lost in New York if you know the general area, since it's a grid. |

I live for snow. But, I'm in Hong Kong right now. It never snows here.
I love snow/winter so much that I'm only considering boarding schools where I've got a 90% or higher chance of snow. |

He was a character. We got along pretty well. I felt sorry for the adults though. I met him at camp, so it... |

I've only tried to explain to my friends, so it went like this:
"You know how I have no social skills?"
"Yeah, we all know."
"Turns out it's a real thing."

When I was little, we didn't have a color TV. Best quote from a preschooler ever?
(A horrified me to my dad after seeing TV at someone else's house)
"Dad, Barney's PURPLE!"
I almost never watched the show though. I preferred Sesame Street, then Zoom and Between the Lions |
