On-screen text

I was raised by a first responder family, and there is no way I’m calling in the middle of the night due to my own stupidity. It can wait until morning. To everyone out there that decides to call in the middle of the night because your pinky toe has been hurting for 3 days, I hate you. #diyproject #staircase #firewife
