  • from La Crescenta, California.

  • Oh.

  • But she's cute. She's part--

  • I think she's half-Italian, half-terrier.

  • By the way, both of those kids are up for immediate adoption.

  • This is from an Instagram account

  • called Moms Who Need Wine.

  • Well, first of all, don't all moms need wine?

  • I don't know.

  • This is what they posted.

  • [laughter]

  • This last one was sent in from Nikos Carly

  • from Studio City, California.

  • You know, who leaves kids with a bucket of paint?

  • "Mommy's gonna run out to the store now,

  • so here's some paint."

  • Ah, this is why I love that you have kids and I don't.
