How to Talk to Little Girls. Great little article. Some folks at MetaFilter were kinda down on it, but I think it’s a valid concern. I think both my nieces are cute as a button, but I also want them to think that it’s even more important to be smart and brave and kind and healthy. I’d hate for them to think that being pretty was all anybody cared about.

I even call out the Snook when he compliments my looks instead of my brains. I know this booty is all that and a bag of chips, baby, but I gots more to offer the world!
