  3. I know exactly who you had that conversation with and he CRACKS me up! I love Big Toe.

  6. That is cute. I almost bought a shirt for my son that said, “I am proof my mom likes to fuck!”

  9. My husband won’t go to kids’ parties unless they are for

    1. our son
    2. a child whose family we hang out with socially

    He came to this decision after attending a party where he was THE ONLY FATHER. Even the birthday child’s father wasn’t there.

    Of course, at our son’s party, 2 other dads showed up, so it kind of blew that theory…That might have been since we started the revolution of dads attending parties too…But then we ended the revolution.

  13. I 100% admit that I stole this line at dinner tonight.

    Sorry. I was really tired, and I was out of witty conversation. Eh. At least I modified it from “moms” into “married chicks.” Does it make you happy to know that it solicited laughs? (The “moms put out” thing, that is.)

  14. Okay, remember when I said that other cartoon was my favorite cartoon, what I meant to say was this cartoon is my favorite one ever.

  16. Well, mom’s DO put out. Or at least there’s proof that they HAVE. Victor should seriously reconsider if they still do…

  19. I loooove this site…sorry it took me so long to find it. I think I would pay someone to put out for my husband so he’d leave me the heck alone. Oh wait, is that prostitution? Ummm…just kidding!!

Advice from Dorothy Barker: Go outside and find the sunset. Touch the grass. Bark at squirrels. Pee aggressively while staring at the neighbors. Eat a bug. The usual.
Instagram makes suggested reels based on old content and I assume most people have beautiful vacation photos or wedding compilations, but this is what they suggested for me.
Sitting in ihop after graduation and “who’s gonna drive you home” comes over the sound system and now I’m lightly weeping into my pancakes but I’M FINE.
