Bestie, this was inspired! And hilarious. “Like an old-timey British insult. "Ahhhh go flush out yer bladder, you daft gormless prat!” That nearly killed me. And that was even before I knew what gormless meant! (I used the googler for it.)

Loud and loquaciously yours,

I would have you no other way, bestie! And I would never tell you to go flush out yer bladder. Unless we were old timey Brits in our own version of the Algonquin Round Table and you just beat me at darts or something.

I may be able to beat you at darts, but you'll probably clobber me in snooker

Just listened to that One Bad Mom podcast interview and I’m even MORE excited to start reading your book—probably during my Christmas vacation. ❤️

As if "farts" wasn't already funny-- just try googling "funny words for farts" when you need a good laugh!

😂 I’m shook your inbox doesn’t contain anything about bigger boners and longer erections. That all I seem to find in mine. Also pumped for your festive party! Working on a piece about my holiday anxiety right now. Can’t wait to have a breakdown
