My 8-year-old calls our friend's new kitten Business Cat. Why? Because he pounds his fists on the table like he means business. She understands exactly how business works. Watch out, corporate America.

I dropped some serious money this weekend, but one of these might pay off.

I never go from relief to horror faster than when washing my kids' dirty laundry and realizing there's not nearly enough.

Happy totality to all those who celebrate!

11-year-old: I need money for a thing.

Me: What thing?

11: A school thing.

She discovered the hack for instant money.

Since the end of the school day, I've driven back to the middle school six times to pick up or drop off kids for various extracurricular activities. I never thought I'd get to this point, but here we are: I now support letting 13-year-olds drive.

It's how all adult Easter egg hunts should end.
