We got a guy.
Me and my daughter are in the living room, and she has strep throat, so we're we've been literally chilling all day. And she just looks at me and she goes, mom, I really want that, like, orange chicken and rice from the place down the street. And I'm like, yeah. Go tell your dad. Go tell your dad. And she goes, oh, yeah. I forgot we have a guy that goes against us. Stop.
