April Monthly Babeyyyy

Guys I have become a genius. Look

Here are the responses from the March Monthly:

And here is the April Monthly.

It's a good one, quite frankly. She is quite frankly boppin.

Here are some sentences that were uttered in my presence this month:

Me:

You have such good handwriting.

Auntie Bern Who Went to Catholic School:

All thanks to the nuns, my dear.

Therapists Chatting at the Cafe:

My salary is too high for that.

Uncle Ricky, addressing my 90-year-old grandmother regarding her wheelchair:

I'll soup that bitch up real nice for ya Nanny

Stranger at the cafe when I mentioned the Peace Corps:

America is the safest place right now. If they bomb us, they bomb New York City. We're safe in New Jersey. Stay here and inherit your grandparents' house. They got 6 kids? Ehh, they've got their own houses. Don't leave New Jersey.

Next month I will have written more of them down. I Manifest It

Things Baked in March 2026:
