His mum: No darling.
Little boy: What about a shop?
His mum: No love.
Little boy: Then how can you get a star down from the very sky?
His mum: You can't.
Little boy: I will, you know.

This is awesome. But we truly need your attention and time here in Rochester NY where they are planning on cutting 200+ teachers to make up for overspending from the top. Please focus your energy here for just a moment so we can help fight for other causes with you!

I am proud to stand with the students in Rochester who are fighting proposed teacher layoffs. I urge government officials to keep these educators in their classrooms. Together, we will invest in public education and reduce class sizes.

Her extended pale arm led to a thick torso and wide hips, which she’d passed on to her daughter, so they wouldn’t wither. #WednesdayWisdom
