My First World Problems
Its great to live in a modern era with information available at our fingertips thanks to technology, saving us time and research when doing our kids’ homework. Our large, comfy homes are much easier to clean with remote controlled robot vacuum cleaners. We have heat-&-eat meals that are gluten free, nut free, dairy free, whatever we choose, really! So do we really have anything to complain about? Of course, we do!
Take a look at these gems I’ve collated from the internet, and if you identify with any of them, throw away your mobile phone and head for the Himalayas immediately.
