Explaining Twerking to Your Parents

I still haven’t seen the video, but this event is the pop-culture gift that keeps on giving. Every child dreads this day: sooner or later, your parents will come to you, innocently wide-eyed, to ask you about twerking. How you handle this difficult conversation is extremely important and could have a significant impact on the…

Without people such as Samuel Pepys, there would be huge caverns in our knowledge of major events that happened in relatively recent…
