Nearly every evening H holds his phone to my face to show me a funny meme.
And another.

When you respond to work email from home but do not see your blog/personal autostamp at the bottom until it’s too late, it’s like:
When you barely recognize yourself in old home videos from 2002, it’s like:
When you catch your kid playing with that annoying toy you are certain you made “disappear,” it’s like:
When you’re juggling too many balls and something has to give, it’s quite literally like:
When you can’t remember which floor you parked on, it’s like:
Last, but not least, the moment you come to the epiphany that you can no longer live somewhere without washer/dryer hookups:
Do any of these sound familiar to you?
