"AnD the caT waS a fuc*ing gay faggoT because he haD no braiN."

She'll never get it, otherwise.

We're supposed to be spawning soon. I'll have the mongrel runt listen to me reading stories every night in order to make sure his English is going to be up to scratch.
HA!
That's quite funny.

Do you plan to teach him two languages? Or just English? Kind of weird question, but I don't know what you're native language is.

My fiancee is Japanese, if we have a child of our own, I will definitely try my hardest to make sure he/she is bilingual. Even if I have to go as far as making him "listen to sessions of consecutive L's and R's" as the article states.
