Would Act 1 be an example of civil disobedience?
That ginormous bowl of popcorn on a little boy's lap just totally made my morning. SOOOOO cute!
i really like that picture!
That's one of my favorite photos. Big bowl of popcorn, small face, with new haircut to boot.
Hilarious about Ellis, too. It's impossible to spell out all the casuistry ahead of time, isn't it?
Hilarious photo! Love it.
