Last week, my mother told me something that made me want to lock myself in a dark room and sob like a little girl. You see, Claire had told her, "엄마는 다정이 안좋아해. 엄마는 효정이만 좋아해." ("Mommy doesn't like Claire. Mommy only likes Aerin.") Now, I know that kids often say things they don't necessarily mean. And both J and my sister think that she was probably trying to get extra attention (and gifts!) from my mother.

Below are 50 movies depicted in emoji form. Can you guess them all? (I will post the answers in the comments section. I'm not sure I should be proud of the fact that I got all of them without a problem...

They’re the best of the best, aren’t they? The cream of the crop, the pick of the litter. The finest, most talented, and most dedicated athletes at any given moment.
You’d think they’d somewhat resemble each other.
Okay, so I know that people come in all different shapes and sizes. And it’s obvious that there exists different standards and physical advantages for different sports. But looking at these Olympic athletes side by side, I couldn’t help but be surprised at just how different their body types are.
