Like Band-Aids, lozenges, thermometer, etc.

Then he called me yesterday and told me about her ultimatum. I asked him what he was going to do and he said he was going to let her expire. “Her,” not “it.”

At the age of three, our son was a handful
Sometimes he was like a Tasmanian devil
Sometimes a whirling dervish
Sometimes a tempest in a teapot
