Kid in parking lot asks "What should I ask you?" (license plate: ASKME)
"Anything, I work at the library"
* Kid laughs *
"Let me ask YOU something. Do you have a library card?"
"Nope."
"Live in town?"
"Yep."
"Well, they're free. You should get one"
"Okay!"
I have become THAT lady & am OK with it 💅

iOS: Hey, you want me to generate a password for that new app? Your stupid human brain can't be trusted, you'd probably just write it in your stupid little notebook, which isn't safe.
Me: Ok, sure, I guess

Kids, you don’t know how easy you have it. In my day, when someone bent the rules so kids could have fun with D&D, you couldn’t instantly rage post on your phone.
No, you went home, fired up the Smith-Corona, hammered out a salty editorial, and mailed it to 8 confused subscribers two months later. 😅

A simmering pot of delicious tension, I wondered if there would be anything left - in it and in myself - after it finally boiled over at the end of the second act, but the final 30 minutes did it all over again and left me laughing with relief and release.

Delightful and charming as hell with good music to boot, though I did miss a good chunk and my opinion was surely boosted by the rare pleasure of enjoying a movie with my family. +5 points for fun frying pan violence!
