12yo, "[When life's being a dick] you gotta fight back."
Me, "Ok but I'm small and weak."
12yo, "then kick it in the balls."

I'm almost out of my favorite coffee, & since I will no longer be shopping at certain stores, I was very sad I wouldn't be able to get it anymore, & then I had an epiphany: I can just search the brand and what did I find but a website to get it from the source 😱.

I haven't read many books this year but so far I've loved all but one of them 😌.
