“I rescued a dog and he was a puppy, and he got away, but he knew not to go a certain way, and I, like, just ran out into the yard to go save him so he wouldn’t go into the street, just in my underwear – I had just woken up. And, like, snagged him and was like, ‘No, don’t run away!’ And I looked up and my neighbor and his whole family were like, ‘Morning.’ And I’m like, ‘Heyyy. Uhh, this is awkward… you have lots of kids.’”
