This lady just rolled up with her Pyrex baking dish and asked them to load it up with enchiladas. She asked for 20-24. I'm dead.

Davis has really crappy asthma, and he has not ever had a health issue with wearing a mask. The kid has had pneumonia FIVE times in his 10 years on this Earth. His lungs are permanently damaged. Masks save people like my son. Why is that so hard to comprehend?
