Today, my daughter and I wrote a story. So did my son and I. Let’s start with what prompted this: Last night, my daughter said something that hurt a bit. She said that she needs more attention and that I am always saying “one second” or “in a minute”. I sat there on the floor…
Just kidding. Beer is not my why! In truth, it’s usually my “why not!?” But really, the title and image together intrigued you, didn’t it? A little clickbaity maybe, but that was not my whole intention. The truth is that I couldn’t find a picture of all my offspring where at least one of their…
