"It's asking a great deal that things should appeal to your reason as well as your sense of the aesthetic." W. Somerset Maugham, 'Of Human Bondage', 1915 English dramatist & novelist (1874 - 1965)
"Who knows what form the forward momentum of life will take in the time ahead or what use it will make of our anguished searching. The most that any one of us can seem to do is fashion something--an object or ourselves--and drop it into the confusion, make an offering of it, so to speak, to the life force."
Ernest Becker, The Denial of Death

Daughters

My daughter is a pretty cool kid. She's wise beyond her 15 years. However, when it comes to some other life things (sex specifically) she leans more towards the 13/14 yr range than the 16/17 range. Thank God. So, I'm not complaining, however, nor am I naive enough to think that I may be completely wrong.

But why? Someone please tell me, why does a 15 yr old girl need to wear $40 Victoria Secret bras? It's like buying $80 shoes for your 1 year old.

Hanes. At Sears. Done.

And why, for the love of God, why do daughters insist on telling their fathers they need a bigger bra?
