Happy Saturday! So excited to share The Birdcage with you!!!! I am sure you will love it as much as I do. Well, you will love it some, even if not quite as much as I do.
The Birdcage is available for rent on Prime, googleplay, and youtube (youtube link below). I know, I am asking you to spend a little money, but it is SO WORTH IT.
At 7:30am Chicago time, I will put up an “and PLAY” comment and we will comment along from there!

She’s only 18!!! And they were sleeping together for a year which is, technically illegal…. Wait, so he met her when she was in High School!?!

YES!!!! This is one of the things that I think has changed since the 90s. Back then it was unusual but not shocking. Now they would probably make her almost 19 instead of 18.

The 12-year-old broke his collarbone AGAIN this week… So yes, your analysis of parenting seems spot on.

I’m almost 36, still happens. And now my sister has a baby and being a grandparent is MURDER. Because you went through all of this 30 years ago, but you can’t parent for them, you have to let them figure it out.

The shower still works right, just hop in fully clothed and pack in wet clothes. It will add a topping to the misery! But seriously. Good Luck, it will be over soon.
