When one has a persisting case of this...the words are hard to come by.

TO just shocked me a few seconds ago when he found a bug crawling around in his room. He picked up my slipper (not his, mine) and said, "Say hello to my little friend!" and squished it into oblivion!! When did he see Scarface and how did he even know this quote?!!

This morning's conversation with TO brought to light... Continue Reading →
