By the way, have you ever watched Adventure Time? On the other hand, the cartoon “Adventure Time”, the lemons are given to life by the princess bubblegum.

I love Adventure Time! You should watch as well!

I already experienced lots of setbacks , and my friends use to say I’m good in making lemonades from the lemons life gave me ! I think time flies quickly and we have no time to give up because of lemons… with a little bit of sugar or honey they can be good !!
