It’s hard to say what the most difficult part of parenting is overall; there are so many challenges to choose from. I don’t think I’d trade anything I’m dealing with now for having to change diapers again, but with my oldest not too far from entering her tweens, I’m not sure how long that sentiment will last. However, I think I’ve been a parent long enough to know what the most intellectually…

Happy birthday, USA! Please don’t die. Here’s an idea: you know how the US Revolution started with “No taxation without representation?” Why don’t we try enforcing the inverse, too?

If a civil engineer started building a bridge meant to carry a couple hundred cars a day, then said there was a 5% chance the bridge might collapse, they would be fired on the spot and the bridge torn down the next day. If your bank offered you a new, high-interest savings account, but warned you there was a 5% chance all the money in it might vanish without warning and without hope of recovery,…
