I really cannot help to wonder, where were your parents/guardians during all that time?

Now now... some days my parents wont even see me.

It's because I'm not there.

I never know where to bite a man Sad Where would you like me to bite you, and how hard? Bare-teeth or covered by lips? Did you want to be bitten several times (num nummed)? Will you bathe before I bite you? Smile

Speaking of monies, i do believe several thousand are about to smack me in the left ankle. Refunds for expensive trash are good ^_^
