Sorry, Ted, my mistake. I could've sworn Mom said she wanted us to sing "Roman in the gloamin'." Is it too late to change into a kilt? (135 characters)

Have a great week, all!

ReplyDeleteThere's my son as his future adult self -- homynyms are his worst (and omnipresent) enemy. Sometimes it becomes hilarious.
