TRUTH !


"Groutfiti" is a neologism that combines "grout" and "graffiti". The term


generally applies to graffiti created while in a public restroom, more


specifically, on the grout between tiles in public restrooms. While


"groutfiti" can be any kind of expression, it usually relies on puns of the


word "grout", such as "Groutain of Youth" or "Three strikes and you're


grout!"

Got all but 5 and 7.

The Little Match Girl and The Selfish Giant were my favourite books when I was a child. ?

Thanks Lucky
