SKITTLES said...

I got a question, is this ethnicity genuinely stupid, or they just pretend to be? :-o

miskeen he got confused with the word ana ;p

Hind ♥ said...

Skittles,
I guess they pretend to be when they don't feel like doing something. Cause seriously sometimes he surprises me, when he's in a good mood, of course.

Oreo Madness,
Hehe it's not hilarious till it's over :D
LOL @ "ana madam" ;p
