I Don't Understand People

I really don't. While feeding the child, I turned on the television and watched in horror as Tammi Menendez told the whole world how much she loves her husband, Erik (you know the guy who, with his brother, murdered his parents) and how she thinks it's perfectly ok to bring her daughter to see him in prison every weekend. She couldn't say enough how she saw this as death to us part stuff and so forth. Yikes. Then there was this model talking about how her modeling agency told her (when she was 14) that she would be a great model if she would lose 50 pounds. So she did. And they told her she looked great when she was 5'9" and about 96 pounds. Good for her that she figured it out on her own that this wasn't a good thing and she has put on some weight and is now a plus-size model. When asked what size a plus-size model wears, she said 10-12 or bigger. Yikes again. Last time I checked, 10-12 sounds like the size of a regular, human girl. But what do I know?

But the news that bothered me most this morning was this. Who could possibly think that would be a good idea? It's just cruel.

Oh and please send warm thoughts to Wayne Gretzky because his mommy passed away last night.
