Dear Dr. Sadie,
I'm having trouble deciding on what I should study in college. I feel like it's going to decide what I do for the rest of my life, and I don't want to make the wrong choice. What should I do?
The College of Questions
You shouldn't go to school. You should stay home and play all day and all night. You could stay in your cottage and play all the time.
I should go to school. I will learn dancing at school.

Mom does it all
Dear Sadie,
I used to think I could "have it all" but now I'm worried that I can't work full time *and* be a great mom. What should I do?
- Can Mom Do it All?
You could do both - be a Mama and a Dada. You should play the violin, and I'll play the xylophone. You should make some ice cream. I like cherry. Do you like vanilla?
You can't be a Mama and have a job. Maybe you can practice to be a Dada.
Maybe your Mama can help. Do you have a Mama?

No Job, No Cry
Dear Dr. Sadie,

You should stay home and hide. You should go see your Mama, she makes it all better. Then you should go to school to find a new job. You could make drinks. Maybe you could make some coffee.
I've been unemployed for about five months. I tried to keep a positive attitude, but in this economy, it's getting difficult to believe that I'll find a job anytime soon. What should I do?

Transcendental Numbers
Dear Dr. Sadie,Do you like pi? Or do you prefer e? What's you favorite thing about transcendental numbers?Signed,Plato
I like pi. It's fun. I really like "b." It's a letter, too. It goes around your wrist. It's smooth like butter. It's also like milk and cereal. I like it.
My favorite thing is pi. It's a worry and a slice. I really like them for the heck of it.

Dear Dr. Sadie,
My mother-in-law is very nice, but she's given my son a nickname that I hate. What should I do?

- Stuck in the middle
You should take a rest for awhile. Then you should call you her and say the clouds are too hard because they're not doing very well. You should tell her the wind is too hard. And you should say "I don't like that name. You should use his name."

Who's The Father?
I have a friend who is pregnant, but she doesn't know who the father is. What should she do?
Signed,
Concerned Friend
She should name it Figgy. She can look for the daddy over there, behind the couch. Maybe she'll find him there. I think she should go drive to the park with her little sister, and they should go on the swings. And the monkey bars. And they should go on the slide. They should go on the merry go 'round. And the see-saw. Maybe they can go to a friend's house. Maybe the daddy will be there. His name is going to be Anna.
Where's the daddy? I think he's in the closet.

Uncredited Efforts
Dear Dr. Sadie,
At work, my boss takes credit for the work that I do. I'm concerned about the implications that this will have on my career development. What should I do?
Signed,
Jilted At Work
You should go and do some work there. You should go play there, too. You should eat there, too. And you should color there.
You and your boss should put it all together. And eat. Mac & Cheese. And cauliflower. And mango for dessert.
When you talk to your boss, you should say, "Hello, boss." He will say, "Hello," to you. Then you'll eat.
You should take the work away from your boss and then get back to work.
