I'm a long time lurker. My girls once got into a huge fight over whether or not their armpits were male of female. Apparently, armpits are not necessarily the same gender as bodies they are part of. That one was just waaay to existential for me. This is my first comment. I’m a long time lurker.

I was educated at home from first grade through high school graduation, and I'm now a junior in college. When I was very young we lived in a house with a shower but no tub, so when we went on vacation in Florida and the hotel bathroom had a tub it was a huge deal - like having our own private swimming pool. This sometimes went to extremes though. We came back from swimming in the ocean, my Mom stuck her three small children in the tub for a bath, and a massive fight ensued over who got the "deep end" of the tub/imaginary pool (the end by the faucet). This continued to happen for the rest of the vacation, even with a rotation schedule. I've always wondered if it might have been simpler just to give three separate baths...

Today it was over who was the wickest-no, they did not mean "cool"- among them. Umm...kids, we are suppose to be striving for the opposite title! A lot of “discussion” goes on in this house.
