Ha! That’s another way to qualify 😂

You don’t get your official Old-Ass Parent badge in the mail until you’re trying to ease a child into bed and you accidentally wake them up with some part of your body cracking very loudly.

Might complete my auntie transformation and start carrying a tube of lotion around with me everywhere. In my defense though, it’s like -5% humidity where I live.

Both of my sisters were Girl Scouts, I know these cookie boxes used to be way bigger. Still got my Thin Mints though.
