A School of Life Lesson from Mr. & Mrs. Tavares

A School of Life Lesson from Mr. & Mrs. Tavares

I’m 15 years old and have got myself a girlfriend. Of course I’m head over heels in love. All my exercise books and text books have the same thing written on it. ‘Paras loves (insert new girlfriend’s name)’.

He doesn’t hide his disdain for vegetarians or people who don’t eat this or that. Advises against brunch especially if you’re thinking of ordering…
