Parenting Roundabout

We wade into the treacherous waters of kids and lying: What are the best ways to react, and to teach them about honesty? (Surprise: There are no easy answers.)

On this week’s Roundabout Roundup: Terri invites brides- and grooms-to-be to check out Wedding Dance School, from Dancing with the Stars pros Pasha Pashkov and Daniella Karagach [https://weddingdance.school/]. Nicole likes keeping her clothes smelling fancy with Downy Unstopables [https://downy.com/en-us/fabric-softener/downy-unstopables/]. And Catherine is now watching DWTS's Monday-night competitor, The Voice [https://www.nbc.com/the-voice], and following competitor John Holiday [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KM5dJQXxdIY].

Hearing about Play-Doh's new line of Play-Doh for Grown-Ups (with scents like "Overpriced Latte" and "Lord of the Lawn") got us obsessing about other toys we loved and want to bring back. But we'll take our Play-Doh original flavor, please.

We once thought that as got older, our skin would toughen up and we'd be able to handle criticism. Turns out? Not so much! If you're going to leave us a comment, please make it a nice one.

On Dancing with the Stars, the double elimination turned out to be one elimination (bye, Crishell) and one withdrawal for medical reasons (get well soon, Jeannie). We're still voting for too many of the remaining contestants--while we can. Next week: Icons Night.
As a palate cleanser after two seasons of Veronica Mars, we turned to a much gentler investigation: "On the Rocks," a Sofia Coppola movie streaming on AppleTV+. It starred two of our faves, Bill Murray and Rashida Jones, and was a sweet and wistful portrait of a bygone (that is, pre-pandemic) New York City. Next week: We double down on dancing with Baby Ballroom (https://www.netflix.com/title/80217151) on Netflix (season 1, episodes 1 and 2).
