That’s cute. Untrue, but cute.
Meanwhile, I’m pretty sure most of us are never going back. 👋💅

A small white and tan Jack Chi dog sniffs grass. Nearby behind a circular planter is a rabbit. The dog does not care.
Them: She doesn’t even chase rabbits?

David Ruprecht: And what do you do, Tom?
Tom: I sell balloons and balloon services.
