I just said I don’t care. It doesn’t bother me what other people do and if it’s in a kids movie it’s no big deal.”Related: Redditors rally around guy whose date pulled “the most d*ckish” move everThe man went on to explain that, “She was born and raised in the south by very conservative Christian parents.
