[@assassindelasaucisse.4039]

Outrageous!

[@CrazySTLFangirl]

As a mom, I can confirm moms porrage is cold becuase she was busy taking care of everything else and didnt get to it in time. This has happened so many times she has grown to prefer cold food over warm food...or at least that is what she tells herself so she doesn't break down emotionally or mentally.

[@SzaraSzarancza]

😢

[@ctakitimu]

As an observer of a mum who worked very busily in the family home, often picked at the food while she prepared, and that was her meal. While everyone else got to be seated and served. But she was honestly happy doing this. Even still I look back to my childhood and feel a little ashamed

[@michael_pilot]

I wish you lots of courage. I hope that as they grow up, children will do more and more chores and your burden will be lighter, courage!

Very cute! 🎉❤ another home run for the boys at the table and everyone else behind the scenes, wrangling said boys to squeeze out good show after another. Oh my god I love the Karen lady! I hope she gets to pop in for a green screen or cut away! This is awesome!

In Canada, erasers were also called rubbers, it's what my grandma used to call them. Yes, it was made of rubber back then. 😁 Also, rubber boots were also called rubbers both in the US and Canada, but that too was considered a funny to still call them that just like erasers.
