I deserve a prize then! Not sure why, but once I started I just really needed to finish reading it all… and then I debated about doing it myself… but I’m too lazy right now, so it’s probably not going to happen.

Dad never took you on his motorcycle helmetless like he did me? We got pulled over like 3 blocks away.
You broke your wrist.
Ohh I forgot Dad had a motorcycle! Maybe I have ridden one?? And I don’t think I actually broke it. It was something else.
Enough
wow! That was some list!! And as always, I love your witty answers! lol
