Sent my husband out last night to get eggs (we rarely buy eggs in general) and he came back and told me they were totally reasonably priced! And what the price was…

“Why did they spend all that time in school teaching us things like close analysis of literature and algebra that I’ll never do again instead of useful things like how to balance a checkbook?” They were actually secretly teaching you media literacy and problem solving! Can we go back to that please?
