I once took my now teen daughter to the park when she was around 3-4 years old. She was on the swings and another girl of similar age walked over and gets on the swing next to her. We had never met or seen this girl before.

I too blunder through this world pretending I have an understanding of my wife of 20+ years and just opt to get excited when the light turns green.

Being married, I know it’s a death trap… but f@&$ it. What does premium wife get me?

I think those that can afford a space hotel do not worry about healthcare.

I like irony here that the headline focuses on the “closed on Sunday” bit rather than a vending machine provided by a company that specializes in fried chicken in a place where health is important.

These things always feel like someone shouting “I have a birthday too!“ at someone else’s birthday party.

I’ll need a larger sample set… uh… for science.

Whew, almost had to hide this from my wife.
