Oh yes. I saw in TV the other day this girl who was 29 and looked like a baby – literally.

Whoa, did the pianist really say that upon seeing Oliver aggresively mount Janet, he resolved to buy Oliver and brought his mother to meet him?
That is what it sounded like he said. lol
Yeah what a kook. I mean really, think about it, ” Mom there’s some one I’ld like you to meet”. LOL was the guy playing cupid?
I had some time to kill, so I watched the whole thing.
Fascinating! The ending was chilling . . .
You are NOT my daddy!!!
