Kid 2: *out of nowhere* Dad, can you hold a donkey?
Dad: WHAT? No? What.
Dad: *looks at me* Why would he want to know if I can hold a donkey??
Me: I think the more important question is, CAN you hold a donkey?
Dad:

Amanda is a married mother of two goofy kids. She has been a nurse since 2006 and worked in ICU since 2008. Because life was not insane enough, she decided to go back to grad school to be an Acute Care NP. They told her this was a stressful program. They did not anticipate her husband getting cancer in year one and a global pandemic in year two and three.
