"..Our mothers’ only hesitation in turning us into nuns was that they didn’t know if they were up to the textile task...classmates...asked us where we got our cool hats... neighborhood moms and dads...shepherded us up and down our streets, with glee — ...requesting an encore."

Just heard my husband in the next room yell "are you pooping" so I responded "...um...no?" and he shouted back "obviously I'm talking to our toddler."

So that's a thing that just happened in our house.

I toasted four hamburger buns on the grill, brought them in, put them on the counter, and now there's only half of one bun left. I cannot figure out, for the life of me, where it went.
