We’ve all seen the memes: Nope, they aren’t just click bait or people trolling for “likes.” This happens in real life, as I painfully discovered a few nights ago. Three hours, three new parts ordered, and one very shampooed carpet later, I’ve learned my lesson to never leave my robot vacuum in the same room …

We’ve been waiting five years for this, folks (no, really!), but The LEGO Movie 2: The Second Part is finally here! My family has always enjoyed the first movie as one that’s a great mix of kid and adult humor with some heart-string-tugging thrown in. I mean, seriously, as we learned tonight, we’ve been watching …
