hi, i’m maura (◕‿◕) hi, i’m maura (◕‿◕) hi, i’m maura (◕‿◕) oh wow you've been here a while! well let me tell you a story about myself when I was shy of age 6. I was with my dad at a rest area parking lot when I saw a toddler with an insane amount of snot coming out of his nostrils. it was gooey, dripping, and for some reason, it looked so inviting to my curious 6-year-old self. so i went up to him, with no shame, and my dad could not believe his eyes. I had my two fingers SHOVED UP his nose. so many questions. "where was his parents????" might be one of them. or "why did I do that????". both answers to that: no clue. and at the sight of this act of terror, my dad did the most dad thing ever, which was quite radical: he took my two fingers out of that poor boy's nose and wiped it...on the boy's shirt. he carried me in his arms and bolted before I (and in effect he too) gets into more trouble. now can you imagine where my mother's jaw was when she heard this? literally no where to be found. the end.
