‘The road to higher education begins on the bathroom floor, with limited teeth, (thus the lisp) and a passion for books. Carys is packing her bags and I am looking at old videos don’t tell her I posted this,’ added the wife of Michael Douglas.
In the video the child is in her bathroom talking about animals.
‘Hi, it’s Carys. I just took pictures of arctic babies,’ she says.
‘I didn’t take pictures of all of them, because some of them aren’t that cute. This is a very, very cute one. This is a tiger. That was very, very cute,’ she said in the video while showing a picture of a tiger cub.
