Everyone coming on my feed and explaining to me that all is lost, I note what I have noted before, that there are no Negro Spirituals entitled, “Welp, I Guess It All Sucks and I Am Giving Up.”

We've realized that me, my wife, and my in-laws are each teaching our daughter that a dog makes a different sound (woof, bow-wow, and arf, respectively)
