Nothing if you're weird my friend! And you know me, so you can only take me calling you weird with a grain of salt!
I accidently put salt in my coffee instead of sugar once

I believe the 3rd takes care of themselves on their own.
First day of kindergarten:
First child, mom and dad walk him to the bus holding his hands, kiss and hug him and help on to the bus.

Second one, walk her down, nudging her on the way because she’s walking to slow and help her on the bus.

Third one! Dad’s got his legs and mom’s got his arms , run to the bus and toss him in, high five each and go back in for coffee.

well.... how did it taste though?
Not terrible. Luckily, I don't use nearly as much sugar as my step mother. I imagine her coffee would taste like a salt lick lol

Haha I shouldn't ask you this but....

Did you drink it anyway?
I did not haha. Luckily for me, it was the first cup from the pot and I had enough left over to pour one out for the homies. I figure, salty coffee was probably an ideal beverage choice to pour out for the reef homies of days past.

First one, dad I’m bored. Dad, let’s drive to Toys R Us and get a Lego set and we’ll spend the day putting it together.

Second one, dad I’m bored. Get your colored pencils and some paper and when it’s half time we can draw together until the games back on.

Third one, dad I’m bored. Dad, here’s some scissors go and run around with them and when you are bored with that go play in the street.

Or a new genre of 3rd grade GIFs.


Yeah but have you ever put Prepration H on your toothbrush?
I have not, but my toddler got ahold of his toothbrush the other day and was using it as a spoon with of the dogs water bowl. Peak toddling right there. Haha. We have never kept that waterfowl as clean as we do now.
