The fear of falling in love with a child and then losing him/her is a real one. Today, 750 children will enter foster care with the hopes that someone faces that fear head on and loves them in spite of it. #FosterAnyway #FosterCare #StandSunday

I know I'll be the only one following speed limits around here, but that's such an handy summary. #Italy #printout

“It’s painful to see because in every one of these shootings there was an intervention point, where a service agency didn’t do what they were supposed to do [...] because the people weren’t living in the right postal code,” https://t.co/D8FhP9TVFL

I'd be thankful if my 4yo son stopped saying sorry just for the sake of it. I'll give this a try, who knows, he might pick it up one day. https://t.co/Cl0LIGJOBS

Just read something about replacing "I'm sorry" with "thank you". So, instead of saying "sorry I was late", say "thank you for waiting for me". Replacing negativity with positivity and gratitude and breaks the "i'm sorry" cycle. Powerful.

@diegobo_en Hi Diego, please could you DM us your reg number and the branch you visited so we can look into this? Many thanks

[Diego Boccaleone @diegoboccaleone]

Don't waste time with @webuyanycar, unless what you're looking for is a ridiculous car evaluation and customer service to match.

@AquilaPipp1e We had to stop halfway to pump up the tyre. I had the feeling it wasn't the first time today. I got a nice discount for the delay tho. 😅

[Diego Boccaleone @diegoboccaleone]

When I pointed out to the cab driver that his passenger front type was completely flat, he got out, checked the tyre, and asked me to sit on the opposite seat!

My Birthday wish is for as many people as possible to donate a tweet saying - Every Child Leaving Care Matters #ECLCM

Thank you!

@Sezz_Says Bad? I thought as parents we were supposed to do that!

Sorry if I'm late to the party--worked late tonight--and to those who just don't care about it, but we can all agree that Spain is going to win the world cup this year. Go Spain! #FIFA2018WorldCup
