“Life is better being a mom.”
The good lies
Growing up we were all taught that lying was wrong....okay, so maybe it actually is, but I'm pretty sure it doesn't stop us parents from doing it anyways.

The Life of a Parent: as Told by Michael Scott
The Office is probably the best show ever made, at least in most human beings opinions. The characters are all relatable and entertaining to watch, but Michael Gary Scott, the regional manager at the Scranton branch of Dunder Mifflin takes the cake!
