Condiments
Miss Thing had an interesting afternoon yesterday. Originally, she was wanting to go to the mall with one of her friends after school. She and I are still butting heads a little bit about whether she should be allowed to go to the mall by herself or not yet, and I gotta say I’m still [...]
