Smiling at the hillbilly's somewhat plain daughter can be dangerous.  She's overdue to be married, and he has a shotgun.

Show me something SAFE.

This one's kinda dated, but it's my now-13yr-old daughter on her 7th birthday, holding up a built-up house I got her for 'her own' section of my previous layout.

Show me a mrr scene with a private residence in it
