A Funny Middle School Story about ‘Cupid’
With Valentine's Day coming up at the end of the week I thought I'd do posts themed around it for your entertainment. I figured my first one should be a musical post. This one will be about 112's Cupid.I remember the first time I heard 112. My sister and I were in the car on... Continue Reading →
