Last weekend my 10-year-old daughter pulled out her loose tooth, smiled and said, “You owe me a dollar!”
Needless to say, I was less than thrilled with her choice of words. Kids!

Nothing is grosser than opening the microwave and seeing cooked food splattered all inside it.
OK, there ARE grosser things in life, but this one ranks pretty high on my list of grossness and pet peeves!
