I teach 2 year olds at a daycare. Once, one of my very smart girls woke up from a dead sleep during nap time and turned to me and said "dad said damnit." I said "what? When?" She goes "in the car. He said damnit." My coworker and I were cracking up trying decide what to say, but then… Read More

My roommate and I were offered a chance to see our apartment before we signed our lease on it even though people lived there still. It was decorated very strangely and we joked that aliens probably lived here. The property manager said I could take photos of the apartment and the… Read More
