I am seriously DYING right now, these last 3 posts are like the funniest ones I have ever read!!! I love it, thanks for sharing! It also brings back all kinds of funny memories, like all the misinformation my older cousin gave me that HORRIFIED me, she needed your class HA HA HA! I also remember after having a lesson similar to this having a conversation that went like "mom, I'm never having kids" "Why?" "I'm just not."
