Scoring All Day - 2/6/18

Tuesday, for the rest of the day we did our laundry and on our way to shop we got pulled over because the car registration sticker wasn't there and we showed the officer our registration card and it was up to date. So he said that someone must of stolen the sticker off our car and got our haircuts.
