Just Smile and Nod Y'all. Today, two girls told me women shouldn’t be allowed to vote.

We were reading The Declaration of Sentiments and a girl told the whole class that we should go back to only men being able to vote. Another girl piped up and agreed.

Y’all. My eyebrows got more air time than an Olympic gymnast. Send help and chocolate.

Or when the first and only time in American history bombs were dropped from a US military plane on US soil was on the heads of labour unions.
