I always say Sullivan’s questions could crack even the toughest of criminals. They are relentless that’s for sure.

It never ends. Today my 8 year old got out of the shower with a “mommy? do you know what the Iraq war was” (yes), followed by “can you tell me about it?” (…….crickets….. ). I mean, where do you start with that one?
