I once said to my ex ‘I need your man hands’, when he asked what for I said to mash the potatoes. He stuck his bare hands in the hot mashed potatoes. Kinda my fault, but still. 🤷🏽♀️🖐🏾

I love this thread of Americans going ‘I watched a British Baking Show & they don’t get American culture.’ With absolutely no self reflection about the fact they are Americans watching a British cultural phenomenon & slamming it cause they don’t get it.
