If we had a kid, it would probably be a bit like Tavi Gevinson. Stylish, unique, sarcastic. Highly influential 13-year-old fashion blogger.

Follow her adventures here.

If we did have a kid and it wasn’t Tavi, we’d probably mess it up because we’d want a Tavi.

It’s probably a good idea that we don’t have kids.
