Among the great mysteries of the universe are why and how people have more than two kids. I’m at my wits end with two…
What the congressman reports below is disgusting.
He reveals the utter lack of decency and humanity in the Trump administration, especially in the telling detail at the end.
Taught my 4 year old how to look up page numbers from a contents page yesterday. What else can I impart to a 4 year old? #parenting
