Assuming you really enjoy lollipops, are you better off before or after the move?

I'm thinking about hiring a tax consultant to help her solve it
It took me awhile...But, I finally realized that this is a trick question. No one can afford to take their school-age children to one of the FDA's.


Good one. You really had me there, for a minute.
