Lol but I don't want to Ian them to think it is rude or a bad thing. Because if I Ian them to think that it is bad, then I train them to think the thin is good. Or best. A then thin becomes a goal to get and keep. Then I have mreo serious issues then wether or not my girls offended someone by saying aloud that they like the soft roundness do that persons shape.<br />Heather Pelczarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02737347551735549025noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5118517190489901866.post-22697124188830113312013-04-30T11:43:15.060+03:002013-04-30T11:43:15.060+03:00This is so true!!

At one point the question of beauty came up, and the man representing Africa said that in Africa it was best to get a fat wife, because then he wouldn't have to fatten her very much up during the first year of marriage, and all the Westeners were very shocked! :)Ceciliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14031052268839985713noreply@blogger.com
