The first two show the same girl, Patzy Grimmett. The second one shows Sonia Mae Everson. I love the comment on Sonias pic - Pediatrician says they won't hurt as long as she enjoys them !!!

    Such culprits should be penalized for such an act.

    interesting, i wonder if those girls are alive today and whether they still smoke.

    if your kid needed a light for her stogie would you give her one? i can't get over these parents! these kids seem to have their parents wrapped around their pinkies.
