She has three daughters: one is high maintenance and cannot wait to get her married off, one is a college student who often tricks me into buying groceries by conveniently leaving her wallet at home, and the third daughter is quiet as a mouse and causes no problems. She has three cats that she so loving calls Murder Mittens, Dr Teeth, and Asshole. They are adorable when they are asleep but are hellions while they are awake. It’s like raising triplet toddlers.
