Personal Narrative: Hashimoto's Disease

1110 Words5 Pages

I have a shocking confession to make. Most of my friends and family will be so disappointed in my online proclamation, but I must finally tell the truth. But before I tell you what the offensive act is, I feel that I must offer a proper defense. You see, there are extenuating circumstances to my particular crime.

To return the cart, I need to get him out of the car and walk the buggy back. And quite frankly sometimes I am too exhausted to accomplish this seemingly simple task. And sometimes Jack-Jack is to unhinged to get back out of the car. So sometimes my cart does not get
