Which nit are we picking? Or are we picking the whole nit-and-kaboodle idea that Jenna discovered these items just like Al Gore invented the World Wide Web?
ReplyDeleteOh, very good, I like that - that explains the disappearance of Jenna's picks. Love the idea of her out in the market with a magnifying glass and cute notebook.
