‘For Your Mom, Bro’

February 10, 2017May 1, 2025 Jo Tango

Amazing how a negative thought never crossed their minds. True leaders always believe and bring others w/ them https://t.co/FHFWECbk1n — Tristan Pisacane (@tpisacane11) February 10, 2017 What a game.

That goes on through high school and college. Then, you graduate and start to work for a living and doing things like cooking,
