Mom Went Quote by C.C. Hunter
““Oh, I brought you something." Her mom pulled a bag from her purse. "I know how you like T-shirts," she said. Kylie couldn't help but think, My mom went to England and all I got was a T-shirt , but she smiled and pulled it out of the bag and then chuckled when she read the script across the front: My mom went to England and all I got was this T-shirt. "Perfect," Kylie said.””
