Kurtis was almost finished, and wanted to getsome freshair, and decided to answer the call.As he approached the check-out stand a distant smile caught his eye, the new check-out girlwas beautiful, he recognized her as someone he had met incollege and he fellinlove….read thefullarticleRead the clarified storyatSnopes.comPosted inGeneralJanuary28th, 2009 byBlogFor DownSyndrome |No comments
