Today’s Good News 10-17-22

A 20-year-old from New Zealand didn’t have anyone to jam with during the covid lockdowns.  So he taught his dad to play bass, and his mom to play drums. Now they’ve got a band called Mommas Boy, and recently put out their first album called “Who Would Have Thought”.  (They’ve also got a TikTok where they play covers, like “Bad Moon Rising” by CCR.)……………A café in England has a new sliding price scale based on how polite you are.  If you say “hello” AND “please” when you order, you pay around $2 for a chai tea.  If you say “please” but NOT “hello,” it costs a little more.  And if you just walk up and say “chai tea,” you pay around $5.50 for the same drink……..And finally……………. A kid in Illinois who’d spent his whole life in the hospital finally got to go home on Tuesday.  His name is Francesco Bruno, and he’ll turn three in a few months. He has a rare condition called skeletal dysplasia that affects his ribs and keeps his lungs from developing.  But he’s in a spot now where he doesn’t need constant medical care anymore.  All his nurses and doctors showed up to see him off.
