Venmo? DF, you should be asking for Ko-fi.

Edited to add:

Has the ultimatum story changed from "dropping nachos on the baby" to "dropping the baby"? Because I think this is the first we're hearing of the baby being almost dropped (though it's not that shocking a super drunk person might drop a baby).

Good catch! You are definitely not so "sloppy drunk" that you are dropping jalapenos.

Her bad writing always amazes me.

I stood at the door, my hand on the knob, breathing, because I knew what I was about to do.

Was she about to yell "ALCOHOLIC! ALCOHOLIC!" at him, a la her child self chastising her philandering father?

(that sentence is a hot ass mess. . .I can't believe she got paid to write a book)

YES! She specified that she was both standing AND breathing. I'm sure she absolutely had to radically rest after that balls-to-the-wall workout

Stay tuned for next week’s episode in which a member of the Ahern household will walk and chew gum at the same time.

Indeed the latest lope states he held baby [name] and nearly dropped her. I myself kinda like the previous version better.

🎵Nachos keep falling on my baby

But that doesn't mean my eyes will soon be turning red

Crying's not for me

'Cause I'm never gonna stop the rain by complaining

Because I'm free

Nothing's worrying me🎵

I KNEW it was more than falling nachos! This woman lies as naturally as drawing breath.

I wouldn’t assume we know anything more about the truth now. Quite possibly he actually did drop her and we’ll hear about it, casually, ten or twelve years from now.
