They thought by going into a #soundproof pod they would be safe from him knowing. They were wrong – he could read their #lips.

What’s in a #name?

It’s always fascinating to me how a normal #conversation becomes a life-and-death #squabble when matters of the #crown come up.
You have no control over that, folks. Lighten up.

I dread Saturday morning at the market. The other shopping zombies pick their yogurt. Someone takes the last bag of buns. Cleanup on aisle 5!
And then, the topper – my kids doing the smash-and-#grab in the checkout candy stand.
