Be Nice
I was listening to a couple arguing over what move to watch. She said he couldn’t watch what he wanted because she didn’t like it. Then he said “Well I hate your girl movies.” It took all I had not to tell them to be nice. It takes an entire two seconds to say, “OK…

Do You Hate Valentine’s Day?

Stay Curious
