A little pick-me-up before you go. |
Well ... that escalated quickly. When TODAY's Dylan Dreyer texted her husband, Brian, to see how he fared in getting their three sons to school yesterday morning, she received a mixed response. First, Brian texted, "Boys are great!! Morning's good!" Then about 25 minutes later, he added a photo of what appeared to be shattered glass on a dining table. Dylan captioned the image, "Well that took a turn! #boys." See the funny exchange here. |
