erm, so yes, you can be sure i’ll be enrolling my future daughter, valentina, in lots and lots of art classes, for fear she inherits my inferior genes.

i have to commend the boyfriend on his swashbuckling courage and iron stomach though.

"as long as you made it, i’ll eat it."

 

this one’s a keeper, i say. emoticon
