'dp thinks she staged the crying in the first attempt to get the sympathy vote'
i don't think that at all. i have two little girls and i know how hysterical they can get (and my young son, too).
i think she is TOO YOUNG to be there, as is anyone under 16, and that goes for the Olympics and all that shit, too.
they can fucking wait till they are older and if they're good then they'll be even better with a few more years on them.
