Jun. 14th, 2025 11:30 amnotalwaysright_feedI could probably fill this site twice over with the stuff my wife comes out with. Most of it is hilariously baffling, but sometimes she is so sharply witty… Case in point: We were going out for a drive, shortly after Christmas. At one point, a car passed us, heading the opposite direction. It was […]

Why did I think it was [different name]? Friend: *laughs* Maybe she’s living a secret double life or something. Just then, she sister happens to walk past the room Friend: Hey, […]
