Episode 18 is a special one, because we’re throwing it back to the good old days when life’s minor inconveniences were a little less… inconvenient!

Our final topic still brings us that feeling of fear; finding a seat in the lunchroom. Minor in the grand scheme of things, but major to the kiddos we were. Welcome to Cherry on Top.
