My friend who believed that Trump has a "secret" child is elderly and doesn't remember some of these past stories that were so big at one time. When my son was a teenager he said to me, Mom, did you know that one of the munchkins killed himself while they were making The Wizard of Oz and they left his body hanging in the movie?<br /><br />I disabused him of the notion in a hurry, but I was disappointed. I thought I'd raised him better than that.<br /><br />Love,<br />JanieJanie Junebughttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10573607241326291404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4501852053743373610.post-75530255190927555212016-12-15T15:27:35.057-05:002016-12-15T15:27:35.057-05:00It's always nice to see you, Inger.
