I know!!! I was just at Norma's and saw those and I'm still laughing to the point I'd like to scream, the tears are running down my face...I couldn't decide on a favourite, I'd pick one and then read another and decide that was the best but then read another....you know what I mean. Those were tooooo funny!

Have a good weekend!
