and it was easy to see he was “just resting his eyes”. Sure he was.

True story: My husband tells this story on himself. In high school, he was also working a full time job that wasn’t done until midnight or later — to help out his family because his dad was dying of cancer. So he was always tired, tail dragging. One day in study hall, he closed his eyes but was supposed to be doing school work. The teacher approached and called him out for “sleeping during study hall”. He looked up and casually remarked, “ I wasn’t sleeping. I was just resting my eyes.” He said it was the worst paddling he ever got in school. They called in a coach to administer the licks. 😳

Maybe Trump needs a paddling?! Just sayin’…….
