You know what makes you feel old? Stumbling down stairs at 6:45 in the morning and seeing your 9 year old daughter feeding the cats while she waits for her Eggo waffles to toast. Then she says to you…”Wakey Wakey Eggs and Bakey! Today is Lollipop Day at school. I am lending Pookie a dollar. [...]

Giggles: Can we go to Pet Smart and get a pet mouse? BAGM: No, the cats would eat the mouse. Sorry. Giggles: I’ll get a big pet, like a horse! Geetle: Giggles, you can’t get a horse and besides, they don’t sell Horses at Pet Smart. Giggles: I can get a horse. I’m going to [...]
