Who’s this Karmin person channeling Yoko, and why don’t they realize that the grass is where all the fucking bugs live. No thaaaaaanks.

These kids are going to have fun... “You’re slow, just like you were slow to be born!” “Get out of my room, or I’ll kick you out like I did in the womb!”

My husband’s name is Benjamin. Spelled in the classic way. I called Entergy when we moved to New Orleans to set up our utilities account and the woman on the other end asked me “can you spell that?” Me: “It’s Benjamin. Like Benjamin Franklin.
