His “Protecting the Nation from Terrorist Attacks by Foreign Nationals” executive order would also halt all refugee admissions for three months and prioritize admitting “religious minorities,” which likely means Christians, according to Vince Warren, executive director of the Center for Constitutional Rights. As many critics of the proposed “Muslim ban” noted, barring refugees based on religion, ethnicity, or any other marker of identity is ineffective and detrimental. “By privileging Christians we are cementing the notion that the government action is based purely on religion,” Warren told Slate....

I thought maybe some day (maybe when she’s 14 or 15), we’d get into a tiff. And she’d get so angry with me because I wouldn’t let her pierce her naval. “It’s my body!” she’d scream at me with tears in her eyes.

Until recently, I thought this was pretty normal. Who lets their kid get in a car with just anyone? A lot more parents than I realized. Go to the town park, and I see little ones my daughter’s age and younger pile out of the backs of cars, their teenage sitters climbing from the driver’s seat.

That said, being home I have developed some … less than ideal habits. If you stay home, perhaps you do some of the same: On a given day, you’ll spend your time cleaning the house, helping with homework, doing the grocery shopping, replying to e-mails, paying bills, acting as a chauffeur, doing the laundry, making snacks, doing the dishes, volunteering in your kid’s classroom, raking the leaves, getting the flu shots, sitting on hold with Comcast for an hour, and unplugging the toilet....

I had her diaper bag carefully stocked. Bottles, diapers, wipes, snacks, toys, a change of clothes … I had thought of it all. Or at least I thought I had thought of it all. Then, as the flight attendant announced that we had been cleared for take-off and we started to taxi down the runway, I reached into my daughter’s bag to grab a bottle.

Emergencies. Plenty of people mention getting a fake emergency that they have to run to deal with. Some actually ask a friend to text or call 15 – 30 minutes into the date with the agreement that if you don’t pick up, all is going well. But if it isn’t, you can do the old “Oh my god! Are you okay? Where are you? I’ll be right there!” thing and hightail it out of there....
