Fondest memory of Johnny is when Johnny Melissa and Kayla lived with us and every time Johnny would leave to go somewhere he would always say to Kayla I love you and she would say I love you more and he would say I love you more and they would go back-and-forth for quite a while before he left it was so very cute
