Sir, it takes a minimum of a year of extensive interviews and applications and bureaucracy to even be thought about as an adoptive moms and dad, and you’re making it seem like you went to the animal shelter and simply got a couple little people. Never.”

The joke was obviously a big hit, and they ensured him a task. I followed up, and he never ever got the task. Practically as if … it never ever occurred.
Okay, wait, another. This may be the most apparent lie. When he and his fiancée took their newborn child to her 30-day pediatrician consultation, I kid you not, he attempted to encourage me that his child not just took her primary steps, however strolled throughout the whole examination space. And their pediatrician was exclaiming that they’ve never ever seen anything like it in their lives !!!!”
