Full disclosure: the prose here is the work of the excellent Debbi Allen, based on my incoherent ramblings. She writes much better than I ever could. Thanks Debbi! You should really add your byline.

Mum: "Do you need a Substack?" Daughter: "What IS a substack?" Les: "Like a Sub sandwich, but layers." Daughter: "Foot long, foot tall!" Les: "The ads just write themselves!" Daughter (wearily): "Yeah... Footlong how you Footlong"
