Humor

It took me a while, but I figured out the formula.

Astute Observations From An 8-Year-Old

March 1, 2020 by not your average mom Leave a Comment

I had to go to Costco today because I promised Number 7 I would buy her some seaweed. She loves seaweed. But with the coronavirus hysteria, the whole world is apparently preparing for the apocolypse, and even waiting until 5:30 PM on a Sunday when Costco closes at 6 was not late enough to avoid […]
