Summary
Sometimes all you want from family is attention..and all of it. In this week’s episode, Alex and Jon once again tackle your questions from “How do I get more attention?” to “Was Dr.Seuss on drugs?”. I think we can all agree he was on SOMETHING when writing his books, right? Alex seems to think so since all she does now is read to Lucy. Jon can’t focus on reading because he’s too busy defending crimes like vandalism. If you can’t tell, this episode has a range of topics so there’s something for everyone!
