Let Me Tell You About My Parents And Their Lack Of Technical Skills

First of all, both of my parents would benefit greatly from a technology class because they're both seriously and dangerously behind, but my mom is a bit better than my dad.

OMG. My Mommy Said Sperm

Laugh all you want, but I can explain. I was talking to my mommy the other day, and we were discussing my breast milk supply, specifically about how I have multiple bags of breast milk stored in the freezer because I'm producing more than she's consuming. I also mentioned to my mom that I recently discovered you can sell or donate your breast milk. So I said to my mommy that I would welcome the idea of donating my breast milk eventually. Maybe not right this very moment since Ada Verastic only 2 Read More
