Me:听贬颈颈颈颈颈别别别别别

Teri:聽What is up?

Lauren:聽Nothing. It鈥檚 day 3.

Teri:聽Day 3, the natives have started to get restless?

Me:聽That was actually Day 2.

Teri:聽Day 3, the natives have organized.

Me:聽Day 2, the natives were made to clean. Day 3, we went to Barnes and Noble. Having just returned, 2 of the 3 are fighting. BTW, why does Barnes and Noble have a toy section? It鈥檚 a BOOK STORE. Do they hate parents?

Teri:聽The chief is scared.

Me:聽Out of my mind.

Three days down, 74 to go.
