Crowds outside Buckingham Palace heard that Queen Elizabeth had died.
Then, a double rainbow appeared in the sky... a sign of...One day I TOLD my MOM I wanted to go to L.A. and become a comedic actress.
I immediately realized that probably wasn’t a good idea. The LOOK on her face said, ‘Have you gone NUTS?’
My dream bubble BURST!
But, God had the last wink...
