            We’re looking into intensive therapy programs at the moment. Hopefully we’ll find something by the end of the week, but we had to wait until my daughter’s school year was over.

        Is it too much to ask for them to wait until I’m awake until they play with my balls?

            I just don’t see what I get out of it. Other than microplastics in my balls.

              How do you think they get the microplastics in your balls in the first place? Can’t have you knowing.

                If I knew, I might have let them put some extra in for good luck!

      They said “every testicle in study.”

      Yours were not in the study.
