Although I have always known it, Funmie also always confirms it. It's the intelligence of my Sweet Potatoes. Una get sense die. And although I cannot prove it, I'd like to take credit for it.

Do people pray for divorce? I don't know if they do. I know people pray for love, and for health, and for life, and for marriage, and for children, and for money.
