when laura met laura and the true art of showing up

Birthday means no chores. Birthday means you get carried, princess style, to breakfast.

Why don’t you drop in for breakfast, it is going to be special, I say. It’s a birthday over here. We are having every bad thing in the world; waffles with ice cream and maple syrup.

She says no, she has a full day ahead.
