Shoutout to the frenzied mom picking up pizza in her winter socks and Adidas slides. I feel you, I see you…oh shit, that’s my reflection in the restaurant door.

You know you’re a child of the 80s when you can’t recall your kid’s phone number without searching your contacts, but you’ll never forget 867-5309.
