13 Year Olds and Simple Domestic Tasks

The way our family works is like this: Gina and I, usually Gina, plan a menu for the week and then make a shopping list.

Name The People

I left work last Wednesday at lunch and made my way to the dealer. After driving the car I decided it was the right price and just what I had been looking for. Gina was away on an overnight field trip so I sent some tex...

I told my son to ask him if he was indeed there last summer. Being too shy he declined. I on the other hand have not many reservations about approaching people on the street to talk to them.
