the fort would be in the middle of a big, closed library or museum.

quilts and blankets.
cookies.

I was going to find a gif from Downton Abbey, since it’s become our new obsession lately ..
But then I saw this, and laughed so hard I was crying real tears down my cheeks, and I couldn’t breathe. Can’t stop watching it.

Me: Why do they even bother with gun times? I mean, it's not linked to your performance.
Andy: When I did races, when I was younger, we were on Big Wheels, and there was no timer, and there was no gun, so, yeah, I don't know.

I've made a terrible mistake.
