Journal FidelCatsro's Journal: Sorry for the absence 14

Journal by FidelCatsro on Monday April 17, 2006 @09:49AM

Just been rather busy may still be for a while longer
Another thought, The princes and the pea story can be really bad for children , making them thing that royalty are born naturally superior ..
of course you could take it the other way, show you that some traits are natural .
who knows
