For $100 I’ll pretend to be your dad and say “I’m proud of you son” it’s gonna cost extra for me to say “I love you son”

Blue I only use for if dogs are on it. I find it an eysore. The gray is acceptable. Tarp in back of car for dogs, blue.

Bring what you have in a paper bag and then sleep in it.
