2025/03/01

Today’s question comes from my daughter, who told me that I should ask y’all “what your favorite color was.” This is lazy and low-effort questioning, and I won’t have it from a high schooler, so suffice it to say she’s in time-out right now. But I will put a little more effort into this and […]
