marianne from Toulouse, France
Non je ne monterai jamais là dedans !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ça me fiche une peur bleue ou rouge, comme tu préfères lol ........... on dirait qu'il s'enfonce dans l'eau, va vite lui porter secours !!! j'ai peur de l'eau, j'ai pourtant fait une compétition de water-buggy (c'est interdit parce que trop dangereux), les garçons ont essayé de me faire chavirer, seule fille en finale, ils n'avaient pas aimé ... mdr
bonne journée dear !

@marianne: Ha les mauvais garcons...je suis chanceuse, la minute que mon orteil a touche l'eau quand j'etais petite je suis devenu poisson , j'adore me baigner, mais je comprends la peur de quelquechose...je t'envoie mon ange gardien de l'eau, puisque je n'en ai pas de besoin xxxx
