    “He was the easy one,” his father, Raghu, a physician, says. “He always wanted to please.”

    that’s exactly the one they should worry about.

    The other day I was shopping for back-to-school clothes with Mia, and a little girl of about three threw herself onto the floor and screamed, “I want to kill myself.”

    I know for sure that I can’t click through and read that article.

    Have you seen the tv ads where the guy gives one little kid a real pony (trots it out in the room there) and the other little kid gets a little piece of shit toy pony (and variations of that situation)? If I could drive a truck through the wall at that studio and smash that asshole I would do it.

    Some of you new people might not know it, but Daryl has an anger problem.

    Cindy, I often come close to throwing myself onto the floor and screaming, “I want to kill myself” when clothes-shopping.

    I was quite concerned about the 3-year-old. I couldn’t tell, of course, whether she had real emotional problems or was simply repeating something she’d heard. Either way, it was troubling.

    Yes. Either way it is upsetting. I would not have been inclined to crack wise if I had witnessed it.
