I got out of my bed too but didn’t disturb my parents. I went walkabout and had many adventures. I’m not sure they would have preferred that.

You’re wrong, you’re so wrong that people will come from miles away to stare at you in a cage.

You Americans. I don’t think I’ve ever stood for my national anthem

You don’t get your lipstick smudged. And if you are clumsy like me with not the best grip in the world holding onto a soft plastic cup, a cover is useful and of course you need the straw to drink from that
