    13-year-old father…so shocking.
    i’m actually quite disgusted by it too.
    those 2 kids have no idea what they’re doing and talking about.
    “will be a good mom and dad”? how naive.

    Quite shocking indeed. A 13-year-old kid probably haven’t learned about being a good son/daughter yet, let alone doing the opposite role as a parent… I hope the baby has some nice grandparents to depend on.

    I’ve actually seen the end of a rainbow, but we were on a highway and I wasn’t fast enough to whip out my camphone. I’m glad I’ve seen one though, it’s very rare for anyone to see it in their lifetime.

    Loki… lucky :) I hope I have the chance to see it once as well.
