“What on earth are you doing?”
“Well, Ace said that this stuff makes you grow hair and I want to be bear.”
Sounds like we might need to clarify a few things with the teen. Erin

The key to coexisting peacefully with family on extended get-togethers or vacation is to make sure the adults get their beauty sleep.
