Or as normal people would say, five years younger. Moron.
how did she get two kids and never have a partner?
Artificial insemination or adoption? Or was she too choosy to marry the sperm donor? Or did the sperm donor have enough of her crazyness and abscond?
>> I didnt need rescuing.
Indeed. She needs avoiding.
Good. That means she won’t be breeding anymore.
Tats...how feminine.
