    I’m trying to get some sucker to take on my youngest. Unfortunately, his price tag comes with a nice college bill. No takers so far. Ha, ha. Of course, I better not make too much fun of him. He’s my retirement plan when I’m sent off to some retirement home. He might not visit me if I’m too mean to him. 🤣🤣😎
