Indoctrination?

August 15th, 2009 by Ordinary Miracles

I was warned a long time ago that sending your kids to daycare meant they weren’t “yours” anymore. I’m pretty sure they’re indoctrinating Eric against us. See…we are totally not baseball people. Around St. Louis, people often say “Go Cardinals!” Our version is followed by “Far Read More
