St Louis boomerang. Public librarian. Mom. Full of Muppet-y joy and chaos.

I mean, yeah, I hear it, but seriously, when my kiddo was six, he was suspicious of the effusive praise his t-ball coach gave him, thinking he was being condescended to.

Yes! If you already need hot English people with good teeth from that era, it makes sense not to worry about their ethnicity either!

Loved all of those Keifers in the Grand Hall. This figure in Anselm fuit hic was my favorite, though.

I bet! We gave all our children names that were what they were, so other people would have a hard time going rogue with what they were called.
(My husband goes by the short form of his middle name and it causes no end of trouble.)

I’ve largely stopped reading historical fiction because this kind of thing bugs me so much.
The one that broke the camel’s back was a “really Catholic” character named John Paul, who was born decades before 1978, when both Popes by that name were installed.

Don’t know anything about Mr. Partridge, but gonna guess he belongs to a sect that does not consider Catholics Lewis and Newman to be Christians.
The narrower the worldview, the fewer people they have to listen to or respect.

My son was born mere hours before T-Day so my two-year-old was at my parents’ without me or her dad.
They gave her sparkling cider with dinner, whereupon she said to my mom, who is… weird…about alcohol:
“Kids can drink beer, see?”
My college-aged siblings all did a spit-take with their “beer”.

These look like out work drawers, the tallest of which are just high enough to hook on my lanyard when I get out of my chair. Good thing I put a retractable reel on that sucker or I’d have strangled myself by now.

I don’t have a point that hasn’t already been made, but I also do love a good question about why we do stuff to figure out if it still serves us.
