1. Getting the lawn mower out of the shed Once upon a time, we thought it would be really cute to convert the garage into another den, because we had too much furniture in the rest of the house. (I have an inability to think of where I’m […]
1. People will stampede if food is involved. Until 11am, everybody in the building is a sloth.
