Hi guy,
There are many things happening because of pure chance, your comment is so haughty and hateful. Don't you learn that casualness is everywhere during 8 years being a member of this forum. Sick
I don't recommend putting children in a washing machine as they tend to shrink.
I don't want to spend money to shrink my children thank you
