You gu...Hey, well kudos to your parents for trying. You guys were sure a pain in the ass...which is why any little creeper who comes crawling out of my uterus will be churning butter, gathering eggs and pinning my dresses together for no reward other than the satisfaction of a job well done. Consider yourself forewarned, creeper.<BR/><BR/>P.S. if there was a bible verse in response to your brother's interpretation of the $2 rule, it would be "Jesus giggled" John 11:36.
