Good. Good. I was waiting for a recommendation that my kids can just put all the Dollar Store Chinese plastic and putty of questionable origin in their mouths. Excellent.

Yeah, that’s what kids need, to learn more religious fiction instead of useful information.

I don’t think I’ve ever ordered anything from Starbucks that I haven’t requested half-sweet.
