A Day in the Life

She seemed to be totally immersed in the cartoon, although she was leaning on her dad and did not allow him to move a bit. When he did she showed her disapproval by starting to cry. While watching the cartoon her mother managed to give her a bit of juice and she was not rejecting it although when she tried to do it downstairs Stacy said she did not... [continues]
