Should I take up painting??


A few weeks ago, someone asked me what my hobbies are.

When I heard this, I swear to you, this is what my face decided to do: 😐

Then the question asker tried to clarify, like I didn’t quite understand what they were getting at. “You know, like, what do you do in your free time?”

And then I started to laugh.

“Well, let me see, my free time . . . laundry, kid managing, restocking the groceries . . . is that what you were looking for?”

LOL I know, I’m super fun at parties, too!
