What is that sound? Who is laughing? Is that Grandma Bruce and Grandma Mechling laughing like you've never heard before?
Surely they can't be. They're just putting bows on Mason jars.
Just. HA!
Bows that keep popping off and are impossible! Thus creating quite a hysterical ruckus of laughter between these 2 Grandmas. They couldn't believe how stubborn bows could be. It was just so...so.....
funny!
