Hi Michael,
Here are the answers to today’s challenging questions:
1. Jack takes care of their baby and his wife brings home the bacon.
2. Michael pigged out on barbecued hot dogs and then pigged out on brownies too.
bye,
Amali.
Hi Amali. Nice work. Do you sometimes pig out?
No, I don’t, Michael. I try to eat healthy, limited portions almost always.
Well, that’s the most healthy way to be 🙂
Hi Michael,
1. Jack’s wife supports the family. Jack stays home to take care of their son.
2. Michael pigged out on hot dogs and brownies at the barbecue.
Now nobody brings home the bacon enough to support our family. We are eating away at our savings. I have to find a good job…
Have a nice day!
