so he got cake

we’ve been lazily potty training the boy for a few reasons.
1. he’s a boy and i heard it was harder.

my jilly came to me saturday morning, though, to tell me about her dreams from the night previous. it wasn’t much, really. she stated that the house was on fire and there was smoke. we called the fire department to come put it out, but when they got [...]
