So, what are kids good for, anyway? This week, I attempt to answer that question in snarky, serious, and funny ways. It is getting a little hectic around here with the end of the school year, so I am both venting a little and reminding us all that kids are really great. Gary helps with several voicemails adding what he thinks as well. Then Wyatt has a little rant of his own, discussing the less-than-good quality of most little kid games and movie-tie-in games.

My mom jokes that she was raising slave labor(among other things). For a while we effectively/literally lived off the grid and had to haul, food, water, fuel, etc, so all available arms were used.
