You know when that Friday slump hits and you feel like you’re slouching toward the weekend and Bethlehem all at once? The surefire way to perk yourself up when you still have a few hours left at work is to post a thirsty Instagram photo of yourself in a bikini. At least that’s the Kim Kardashian method. Despite the fact that her entire brand is thirst, Kardashian decided to make North West her scapegoat.

“North posted this on IG while playing games on my phone. Not sure why or how she chose it but I’m not complaining RP.”

But take heed from Kim — you, too, can do this! Got a photo your friends would make fun of you for posting? Just blame it on North. Who cares if you actually know Kim Kardashian’s child or not. Blaming her for your photo will be about as believable as Kim’s excuse.
