I didn’t get through it. I agree with your comment about the characters not resonating. I got about a third of the way in and just decided to go on to the next book in my pile.

Just in case you forgot the /s tag, that person’s job isn’t to collect the carts scattered across the parking lot, it’s to move the carts from the cart area to inside the store. The right way to handle the lack of cart areas isn’t to make the workers job harder, it’s to complain to the store.

My 4 year old’s memory ability is all over the place. One day forgets mid sentence what he was talking about about or can’t remember if he is wearing pants, then later says, “remember 3 months ago when you promised me a Popsicle” or repeats verbatim the theme song for some random show.
