Listen, talking is hard, y’all.
English is hard, too, whether it’s your first language or not, and I don’t know about you but the older I get, the more contending with brain fog has become a daily freaking challenge.

18. I am also pro-panda.
How on earth could you be anything else?

7. That necklace is neckless!
I wonder if it’s being worn by a ghost.
6. Wow, this person knows a lot about angles.
I wonder if they aced geometry.
5. You do sit on it in a car.

Enough with the aggressive question mark!
2. Ok those are not the same thing at all.

1. IDK my husband says my gut in-stinks are totally wrong.
