    Who’s On First?

    Yes, my kids actually did this.

  • Ground Candy

    Ground Candy

    Technically, all the candy was picked up off the ground – just most of it was in protective egg containers and not directly on the dirt.

    On the plus side, other people who actually lived through the 90s thought it was a good costume.

    Sometimes it’s just a relief to hear other peoples’ kids say potentially embarrassing things about their parents, too.

  • I’m In Charge

    I’m In Charge

    Stay Strong

  • Mrs. Grinch

    Mrs. Grinch

    So there I was, minding my own business volunteering at an elementary school event, when my daughter walks by and decides to tease me. I was not even being grumpy at that time.
