Elsewhere on My Phone

Scrolling social media and taking new pictures is basically all I do. Here’s more of what we were talking about around here...

ABOVE Betty went to a classmate’s birthday party at the end of August where the boys and girls broke off on their own into separate play groups. Except for Betty. She played hard in both groups. LEFT Madeline went to Chicago in July to visit her family and happened to arrive the same day her dad was helping ship vaccines to Guatemala.

PRESIDENT FOR ALL

The comments on my neighborhood Facebook group seem to imply the president should not have posed with children dressed in pro-Trump gear.

Searching Twitter didn’t bring me the same results as the listical, but it’s too funny to not share. If Snape really did have an account like this, I would follow. —MV
