No she is not physically challenged.

She has perfect hands and fingers.

But it took 7 years to teach her to eat by herself.

No I am not talking about ass-cleaning.

It’s about something that J and K have come up with.

Let me tell you how it all started.

Not long ago, I have “assigned” some chores to J and K: wiping the table and washing dishes.
