Kindle Notes & Highlights
Glitter is just like herpes. It’s not dangerous or deadly, but it’s super annoying. You think it’s just in one place, but then it spreads to other places. Most of the time, you’re not even sure where it came from. But once you’ve got it, it’s nearly impossible to get rid of. And you can give it to anyone you have contact with. Even if you just touch them. So really, it’s worse than herpes.

(But it’s better than play-doh.) _____
When you get old, it’s way better to have daughters than sons. Daughters usually take care of their elderly parents. Sons, less so.
“I need a few days to myself. Please, Jane.” “A few or a couple?” He sighs. “What’s the difference?” “A few is three,” I explain. “A couple is two.”
if you don’t understand why a donut is unhealthy, I think you might be a lost cause.
