This is exactly why my eldest daughter and I will be going to see it in theaters on opening night and my youngest daughter and wife will be staying home. Two of us read the book, two of us did not. 🀣

A principal friend today told me their staff describes me as chocolate pudding: when it shows up at first you’re not sure but then you remember you like chocolate pudding because it’s safe, unassuming, dependable, and comfortable. I’m going with it.

I’m paying more for groceries that I was a year ago. Gas just spiked a dollar in a day where I live. My power bill is going up and now we’re at war with like half of the world? MAGA is right. This is so much better. πŸ™„

I have two starting drivers training today, and tomorrow I will have two 15-year-olds. I’m not certain how I’m old enough for any of this.
