Welcome to Mom in Data Fighting, Slate's Parenting Podcast.

For Thursday, May 5th, the Just Trash at All Edition.

I'm Jameela Lemieux, a writer, contributed to Slate's care and feeding parenting column,

and Mom Tanayima, who is nine, and we live in Los Angeles.

I'm Elizabeth Newcamp. I write the Home School and Family Travel Blog Dutch Dutch Goose.

I'm the mom to three littles, Henry, who's ten, Oliver, who's seven, and Teddy, who's five.

And we live in Colorado Springs, Colorado.

She's very good at talking to strangers and asking questions.

Of course, that lends itself to her getting kidnapped in the worst case scenario.

But I'm not about to let her do it anytime soon.
