On this episode of Our American Stories, author Winter Prosapio dives into some of the weird laws we have here in the U.S.; Andrew Thompson, continues to share another slice from his ultimate guide to understanding these baffling mini mysteries of the English language; and Joel Wegener and his wife are blessed with 10 children, 2 of which were diagnosed with Down Syndrome.
