I also am not sure what him being pretty or not has to do with anything. His mom is proud, he is happy. What else matters?

Sometimes we post something off, thank you for editing and please listen and read more here as it is important and very good to get support.

I'm sorry for posting a stupid comment.
I wish now I could take it back

3. Congratulations to Jes and way to go Jes's mom!
