While sipping sangria, Anita shares why she raises a glass to one special teacher who taught each of of her kids when they were in Grade 1. This amazing educator survived several MacArthur shenanigans ... including the one about the pine cone!
Find out why Sheila says she felt she was wine shamed. She also explains why she tosses her sangria (not literally) on group of covidiots at her local grocery store.
Anita spills the sangria as she shares a story about an elderly gentleman whom she affectionately refers to as Mr. Magoo. This is just one of Anita's many "Claire Dunphy" moments. (Ya know, the mom from the hit comedy Modern Family?)
