Then we laughed.
We saw each other 16 times before sunrise.

⭐ How the stars do it
Some dads are next level.
Like John Legend, who’s recording an album just to make sure his daughter isn’t impressed when that guy pulls out his guitar on a Thai beach in 18 years time.

Upcoming dates that it might be worth having up your sleeve:
Wife Appreciation Day | Sunday 15th September; think of it as a dry run for Mother’s Day

That’s it for this week folks.
