Amen Quote by Nicole Knepper
““God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, a sledgehammer to smash the motherfucking shit out of the toys that are loud, broken, obnoxious and constantly being fought over, and the wisdom NOT to smash said toys because it would scare my children and it would really just be easier to uncork the wine and drink the entire bottle. Amen.””
