That was my Hyundai driving past in an uncredited costarring role… I’m calling my agent.

Literally sharing with everyone this is hilarious 😂. I can't remember her name but when I was a SAHM a few years ago and took my daughter to the library frequently, she remembered our names after the first visit and she (along with all the staff) were always just so sweet and patient. I miss being able to go on a regular basis. Thanks for the great content and a good laugh 🩷 y'all are underappreciated but library staff along with many other professions are truly gems.

So cute! What does it cost for Farmingdale residents? We come through quite a bit in swim season and ski season.
