Black ants and good fortune...well some of it...

vanny @vandana7 (100282) • India 1 Nov

She said they (old people) behave like kids as they grow up...I said no..

vanny @vandana7 (100282) • India 15 Aug

They are worse. I mean, with kids, you can tell them, you will not get this if you don't do this. You can scold. You can bribe... Try that with my 90 year old father, and he will refuse to have his meal or medication. I am so...

vanny @vandana7 (100282) • India 22 Jun
