I was married to the “Bad Boy”
I was married to the punk snot nosed kid on the block. Growing up, there is always some boy in your neighborhood, kinda cute in a skinny upturned nose sort of way, but this kid has a bad attitude, he’s the bad boy. The parents don’t pay him too much attention, he’s always running the streets, he probably plays guitar, he lives dangerously. Rides his bike too fast, or drives a dirt bike when he’s too young.

I am so glad they were here, the kids and I really enjoyed spending time with them… mr horrible seemed more interested in playing Skyrim than he did in spending any time with me or my family.

My other son brought me a golden dragon (for the Chinese Year of the Dragon that he and I share) that he crafted with his hands out of clay. It was wondrous and I quickly hid it from…

Rush Rush Rush – Case of the Reluctant Hostess
Apparently, I am the enemy because I don't want to clean the entire house for people I didn't ask to come over. Does that make me a bad person?
