Comments
# 9 Well at least she is still here for her to hate you. I bet her parents love you.
#15 But we were on a break ( Rachel and Ross FRIENDS).
#34 One day you will shed those pants. This is you and who cares what colors your legs are. If it wasn't for us, how would other people know they were tan.
#69 Don't worry about your sex talk your mom's home ec teacher told her she could get pregnant if you take a bath in a bath tub right after a boy took his bath. She believed that too.
