Dear Customer who stuck up for his little brother,
sweetupndown:
you thought I didn’t really notice. But I did. I wanted to high-five you.
Yesterday I had a pair of brothers in my store. One was maybe between 15-17. He was a wrestler at the local high school. Kind of tall, stocky and handsome.

I don't understand Pinterest

M: i also forget but i feel i may have done this with drew as well
i guess if all three of us are woefully single i'll have you guys duel for it

so that convo happened last night. let it be known. and now I have a record of such conversation!
my niece is lucky
She has all of these aunties who, whether they know it or not, probably have some latent maternal need to keep little kids happy.
I can’t stand when my sister tells me my niece is asking for us other aunties all the time.
I don’t want my little toddler niece to be sad!!! I mean I know guys probably have a similar response, but I think it’s plausible that females have some...
