Nell, dear. I was there when Sean changed his name from John, and let me tell you. It was about a month and a half ago. He is EIGHT YEARS OLD and there is no way he has a girlfriend.
That some deep stuff! I think you have a smart cookie on your hands!
Wow, you've got a real smarty on your hands!!
Oh, I loved loved loved this. We have these conversations and I can't bear to be driving because I want to write it all down, every word...
Hilarious! My favorite is the suggestion that GB move to Ireland. I think you should share some of your responses!
So if he's five and all that was discussed, grandma must live four minutes away?
