One of the kids’ favorite things to do when we visit the grandparents is driving quads. When we got there last week Tater Tot told grandpa he was looking forward to driving the golf cart. “I’ll probably drive in circles.” Say what? “Yeah. Circles seem like the most basic shape so I’ll do that. Seems easier than say, squares.” 😂
Preface: He’s fine now. Big Daddy has terrible seasonal allergies. Like, “WOW did that really just come out of your face, How can you even breathe with all all that up there” type allergies. They’ve gotten worse every year we’ve lived here until mid pandemic he had had enough and decided to try desensitization shots. On the day of testing an entire side of his back was one giant, continuous oozing welt. It was disgusting. So he’s been doing the shots for maybe a year? Nary a problem.
