This made me laugh out loud. I mispronounced epitome until I was 40 but fortunately it’s become something of a family joke and we all say it wrongly now.
I just recently learned about myself that I want to control the narrative of my own coolness! And it is impossible. And I’m glad to know I’m not the only one
Sometimes my 15 year old talks about the time she farted in 1st grade and everyone immediately knew because she burst into tears and I think, “Jesus Christ, we’re still doing this?!” Then her dad talks about the time he farted in a junior high assembly and got in trouble for it because the principal thought he was doing it as a bit. And the great wheels turns…
You were born to write Substacks, Julieanne!

I hope the school found a way to embrace the learning opportunity that a day with one bare foot delivers for a child.
I needed this — thank you
Oh I'm just glad I am not the only one who feels this way.
God I love your writing. And those beige teeth & unorthodox haircut. ❤️
Phenomenal.
