I am once again thinking about how if Taylor Swift moves to Missouri for Travis Kelce it will literally be the plot of Gone Girl. You can't take an insane blonde who loves cryptic scavenger hunts out of the NY metro area! There will be a body count!

My mum is soooooo obsessed with marrying me off because she’s scared I’ll have no kids and be bitter. So, I was like cool, here’s Tinder, swipe on a man you think is decent. 50 minutes later, she hadn’t swiped right on one. She’s understanding the hellscape now

Yall love saying this generation be using men for money. I was getting ice cream with my guy friend, I go to pay, he stops me and pays. While he’s paying the old lady next to me says, “whenever you’re with a man, remember you left your wallet at home.” Like okay granny.

At 4 my daughter convinced her pre-k class that her dad was eaten by a shark. We are a 2 mom family (never a dad in the picture). Several kids were crying as they ran to the teachers. Didn’t find out about it until the last day of school months later. Now she’s a theater kid. 😏

My youngest tried to prank me by acting like he was going to drink his bath water, and I told him, “You better not. That’s nothing but butthole soup!” He made a face and said, “That sounds good. Why don’t you start making butthole soup for dinner?”I’ve met my match.

It is annoying that as soon as a woman turns 30, people start reminding her constantly about her biological clock, but I do appreciate the reminder that women’s time is, indeed, much more valuable than men’s is

Hate it for the Swifties, but "your friend in her 30s broke up with the man she's been dating since her 20s, the man you ALL THOUGHT she'd marry, and now you have to deal with at least 18 months of her making the Most Unhinged Dating Choices Imaginable," IS a Phase of Life.
