Heart of the City by Steenz for September 04, 2017
Transcript:
Heart: Why does the day before school starts have to be labor day?! Heart: It's like the calendar is mocking me, reminding me, the next nine months of my life will be nothing but work! Heart: AAAAAUUUGHH! Mom: Every year, like clock work, we await the plaintive wail of the back to school whiner.
