He's been making TikToks (cringe!), experimenting in the kitchen (I call it attempted murder!) and he's even started exercising . . . It must be tough being over forty! Add into the mix a trio of annoying older brothers (yes, I have three - pray for me!), a duo of feuding aunts, one friend mishap and a huge helping of drama and you have a recipe for chaos.
