Tue, 10 Feb 2004 23:09:51 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author nifer - USA Baby is a bad, bad store. They must train their employees to play off those tender preggo hormones, playing with a woman's exposed emotions and making her feel as if her child is destined for prison if she doesn't buy the top-of-the-line in every...
