WHAT IS THIS? 20 QUESTIONS??

So on Friday night, I went to choir practise and I made the mistake of taking my son with me. As I've shared before, every trip out with him is an adventure.

MOM JUST DO IT!

I bought my son one of those Mickey Mouse straws. It's a large convoluted thing that he liked immediately. He liked it so much, he popped it into his mouth right away without it being washed.
