Something about the Strausses makes me super uncomfortable.
Like, I’ll watch them and their interactions with Ebee at Trials and want to love them forever, but then I go back and watch the CNN Documentary and want them to never coach another child ever again. Maybe they’ve mellowed?

(this may or may not be my favorite leo of all time)
I don’t understand.
I began hating this leo.
But now I am fucking obsessed with it.
Like, I want everyone to wear it. All the time.
