Conclusion
ilovecharts:
Yesterday we posted a chart to which some people took offense. One person took the time to write us directly with her anger about the chart.

I cooled down,...

I haven't been a teenager for nearly 11 years.

Now and again when my mom and I are out somewhere, some creepy man will ask if we are sisters in that eye-roll-inducing way that is supposed to be over-the-top flattering to my mother.
My brother’s girlfriend and I are about to head out and about, get our nails painted, who knows what else.
I’ve decided if someone happens to ask if we’re sisters, I’m going to deadpan say...
