Haha I've seen this before and I laugh everytime because almost every one I can answer yes too! Brings back memories...
MOST of the comments you wrote after the statements were exactly what I would have said. :) I'll have to tuck this one away for a rainy day. I think it'll be fun for the kids to read someday.
Thanks for making me smile this morning! (and for your prayers)
Our meeting got postponed, but at least the house is clean. :)
yes, yes, and yes. unfortunately, my fam didn't really censor my media so i know all the tv references. well, they did limit some but picked odd ones--any shows deemed to have weak father figures! growing pains, the simpsons, even home improvement:)
