But now the one year old's birthday party is coming up.

And I get an online invitation four months in advance, by the way, to attend this one-year-old's birthday party.

And what I have had it with is it says on the invitation that the host, the mother, will cover chips and soda but would appreciate it if someone would volunteer to bring food to the party like an appetizer or a dessert.

And that is not all.

It went on to say a bunch of other bullshit.

And then at the end, it said, also, we will have her piggy bank there.

So if you feel inclined to fill it with your spare change or one to five dollars or anything else you're comfortable with, we would appreciate it to grow her savings account.

So not only if I accept this invitation to the party, do I have to bring a dish, a present for the baby?

Now I have to rummage through my couch cushion to bring spare change so this baby can have a fucking savings account?

I've had it.

I don't know what I'm going to be doing on that date in four months, but I can confidently tell you it will not be attending that one-year-old's fucking birthday party.

Hi, Dr. John.

How's it going?

I'm doing all right.

Thanks for taking some time to chat with me.

So, about a month ago, I had a friend of mine move in with me because she was trying to get out of an abusive situation.

Yeah.

Is that better?

Yeah.

So she came to me telling me about her abusive situation, and I had the luxury of having a couple of guest rooms, so I offered to let her and her seven-year-old girl move in with me.
