My SiL had PND with both the guys, but not with my niece so I'm not altogether surprised at this.

That worst decision story is one of those threads that makes Twitter worth while - not only is the story wonderful but I love that a whole bunch of folks connected to it come out of the woodwork in the comments.

"Preschool children remember what they hear while they're asleep." All they have to do now is extend it to prenatality, and show that the fetus can understand a language it doesn't yet know, and they'll have proved Dianetics.

The terrible-decision story's author is someone whose name I recognize for a movie she was in when she was ten years old. Not the usual "I've heard of her!" story.
