+ a Header
respectfully dont ever name a baby again, matter of fact? don't even look at a baby
1967. A couple in Hawkins, Indiana adopt a one year old little boy; they name their bubbly son Steve. 2,000 miles away, a little baby named William turns six months old, and sees the beach for the first time. For a moment, their dysfunctional families appear happy.
28 years later, those babies have a little one of their own, Christie-Ann Elizabeth Lee Harrington-Hargrove.
This is the funniest way you could've put it
stimming isnt enough i need to grab something in my teeth as hard as i can and shake my head violently like a dog with a chewtoy
