saving face. Nothing is more “uncool” than being seen with parents, much less parents reprimanding a teen having a defiant moment. Our teen loved throwing fits that involved our inability to read his mind; much like the toddler’s square peanut butter sandwich moment. The differences between toddlers and teens still look slightly similar. The frustration from a teen with a razor tipped tongue can be harder to take than a frustrated toddler with a limited vocabulary. A toddler calling you, “Poopy…

War was declared and Argentinian forces swiftly took control of the island. However,…
about time I tried a Wawa sandwich. To my surprise, the little kiosks in front of the sandwich making station were not as daunting as I expected them to be. The Wawa sandwich I created that day and continue to order consists of the following: a classic roll, pepperoni, barbeque sauce, and pickles.
