Most people didn’t know who we were :P

Okay, so this year I can participate since the main player who would be scandalized by airing the laundry has passed. As background, my mother had me in her late thirties and her mother in turn had her in her late thirties.

I want her swimsuit very badly.

Honestly, now I’m fascinated with you. I think it’s normal to be interested in horrifying things. And I’d say reasonably likely.
