The book was turned to the page with Anne Frank's name, but what got me about it was the fact that right beneath her name there were four Aron Franks. FOUR.

Also, we have vastly different happy dances.

No, I don’t think you’re gonna be single forever, and also I don’t understand your obsession with romantic love.
