Mom Quote by Lucy Mihajlich

“Mom grounded me for buying fake ID drives, and outing the principal, and disliking her posts on interFacebook. She grounded me for breathing. At least, that was how it felt when I was a kid. Then I figured out she just sent me to my room so I wouldn’t see her drink.” quote by Lucy Mihajlich
