Are you financially ruined by all the berries you have to purchase on a weekly basis?

Don't worry, bestie, you're not alone. It turns out children love berries. What is up with that? I mean, they are delicious, so there is that. But dang, if they could live off of berries, they totally would. I wish I could do that. Instead, I need chips and queso. I live off of chips and queso. Sorry, kiddo, they are so spicy, oh man, so so spicy, you wouldn't like it…

Kids like berries as much as adults like memes. We can't stop enjoying them! They are so good and full of fiber. Well, the memes aren't full of fiber, but the way they have your belly rolling with laughter has to get something flowing down there, if you know what I mean… And as parents, you definitely know what I mean. Because that is the only alone time you get, if any! So, hit the porcelain throne and scroll through some memes, you deserve it.

If only memes had some sort of physical nutritional value. Then you would be healthy as a horse! Unfortunately, they only help you mentally. And that is only if you view them with some balance. Meme responsibly! You need to scroll a finite list of memes, like this one here, so you don't end up overdoing it and doomscrolling. Then all of a sudden it is 4 PM and you have to go pick the kids up from school… Er, actually, from summer camp soon. Oh, praise summer camp.

Summer camp is so great because, as a kid, you think it is the most amazing thing in the world. You get freedom, independence from your parents, and fun times. As a parent, summer camp is great too because omg you were not mentally prepared to have to spend every waking second with your kids for the summer… Lordy lord. Why can't adults get a summer break too?? I need some autonomy from my kids, too, ya know. I'd never tell them that to their face, but like, I'd love to have just a week of days filled with hiking, singing, and s'mores without them… That wasn't mean to say, right?! No, it wasn't. Parents get it.
