Monday Recommends and Nail Art: Elementary, My Dear St. Patrick
#1 Daughter got me hooked on Abbott Elementary. I’m not certain if it’s an Office-like “documentary” in progress or if the characters just break the fourth wall a lot, but I enjoy the side-eyes and the back-pedaling when a character realizes what they just said…
