Some theatre kids came to the crib on Halloween, all dressed as whatever characters from some musical I don’t know. They all started to sing and I was like, “yo, I don’t need all that. Y’all want candy or not?” One kid in the back laughed and said, “told you.” That’s the kid I’d vote for.

Please read this thorough thread from my friend and fellow Turning Point (no, not that one) BOD member. Please, give what you can on Give to the Max Day.
It’s Give to the Max day! Should anyone feel so inclined, I suggest considering Turning Point, Inc. (unrelated to the infamous, more political org with a similar name). Turning Point, Inc is an essential culturally specific chemical health provider located here in the Twin Cities.
