But is it Blog-Worthy?

This is a brilliant compilation of fashion moments from Seinfeld, and every one of them made me smile, but I have to admit part of the reason I’m posting it here is because after I made a comment about it to my uber-hip niece (and loyal reader!) Becca Jane, who had sent it me in the first place, she forwarded my comment to the creators of the original post, and they added it here , with my comment and with a link back to this site. So here is that post too, which could cause some vortex of bouncing websites ricocheting back and forth off each other: http://www.getkempt.com/dept-of-corrections/and-now-one-more-style-moment-from-seinfeld.php  

Though I probably shouldn't tell them when it's time to go to bed

One theory on parenting that I hear over and over is that one shouldn’t try to be a friend to our kids, because, for instance, if your kids are doing something really annoying or repugnant, they need to be told firmly and directly that it is unacceptable behavior. Actually, my preference would be that I could talk to my friends the way I talk to my kids: “Yo, don’t chew with your mouth open!” “Dude – Don’t be so rude! Can you say that again nicely?” Or even: “Can I have a hug?”

Or maybe use each other's sand wedges?

Which is a better indicator of when you know you’ve found your partner for life... when you are able to finish each other’s sentences…or each other’s sandwiches?
