Yes. Or, as my dad would say:
What’d you do with the money?
The money you were supposed to use for comedy school!

Despite the dangers, I think it fucking rocks that you can learn almost anything you want from the internet these days.
Sure beats the outdated encyclopedias of my childhood.

I go to bed at 9 PM. I work, eat, read and sleep. Thats my life during the week. Also I take anticonvulsant medication which makes me sleepy. So yeah, drug use.

Thanks!
I think I’ll like it here.
I hope there aren’t any cats, though. I’m allergic.

My son is 15. We bought custom made size 15 shoes for him at the start of the year and I just noticed his big toes are pushing the way through the front. Maybe we should skip a size this time.

Maybe they run a small business like a shop. If its a bakery or a newsagency, they would have to start early.

My second-grader periodically goes days without eating almost anything, and has me tearing my hair out in frustration, but tonight put away two sausage rolls, a macaroni pie, a cheeseburger, and an apple. I was really looking forward to that cheeseburger, too.
My eldest, despite still being at primary school, can and does regularly eat more than me, and I’m north of 200 lbs.

Pshaw! Driving the speed limit and not hitting anything is easy! It only really gets challenging when you’re going twice the speed limit!

There was a summer where my stepson would get up every night in the middle of the night, pull ALL the ice cream out of the fridge, and stuff himself until he passed out. We’d find him on the sofa in the morning with melted popsicles strewn around him. We tried putting the baby gate higher up, so he couldn’t get out of his bedroom (he was probably 5-6 at the time). Somehow this kid that was a herd of elephants all day long was a frickin’ ninja at 2am and he’d still slip out.
We ended up having to take turns sleeping on the couch to catch him. It took a month for him to stop trying. So I have no problem believing that this kid just got a hankering for a Happy Meal and took off. I’m just glad mine didn’t figure out how to use the car!

Right? This was a smart kid to realize that was even a thing he could do.

I took off on foot at about two or three years of age, and quickly realized it was important to remember your path (it was not my house). Luckily, it was a straight road, and I don’t think anyone ever knew that I’d been gone.
My youngest brother at the same age was a little wiser, and used his Little Wheel. He got a police escort home.
I could never have taken the car, because I could barely make the height requirement at age sixteen.

I just realized that he drives better than my teenager who’s been to driving school. She still sometimes pegs the curb on corners lol

Somewhere there’s a McDonald’s marketing person who is really thrilled their message is reaching the intended audience with their three dollar Big Mac deal.

Maybe it’s just me, but I can think of a fairly long list of jobs that would require a person to wake up at 3:30-ish in order to make the shift on time. Especially if there’s anything resembling a commute involved.
