Her stepfather is the one who got her pregnant and is currently in...

    Funnel cake anyone?

    I would like to know why my fellow Canadian transplants didn't tell me about funnel cake? I'm a little upset because had I known about it, I could have been enjoying it for the last two years. I feel like those years have been wasted. All this time funnel cake was right under my nose and I...
