On you two, too
Boys, It’s been a few since I’ve just riffed on you two. Koen, it’s your birthday week and your mom and I have a few things planned — more accurately, your mom has a few things planned — but one of the things is that we’re going to do a “yes day.” I would have…

On Bad Mom’s Detective Club
Boys, There is this old Saturday Night Live sketch with Steve Martin sitting in front of a Christmas tree, drink in hand, and he talks about what he would wish for if he had “one wish this Christmas.” It starts innocently enough with him wishing for all the children of the world to join hands…
