  1. I am in. I have just informed my mother that we’re going to get creative when she comes and visits on the weekend of the 16th. Her reaction: “Thank god, there’s finally something interesting happening at your place.” Thanks, mom.

  2. I heard about the girl already. I also want a kid like her.
