ROTFLMAO! 😃 My cousin chased this guy around for years until she was able to get pregnent by him one drunkin night; then dumped his ass and refused to have an abortion. I can still recall the Christmas Eve when he demanded that she get an abortion while Christmas music was playing in the background. ☹ She verbally agreed (at the top of her lungs) to support the child without him. Sixteen years later the poor sap is still making his monthly payments.
