My kid who needs to get a lot more sleep is playing with Bloo to see how it works.
He should also clean his room.
On the up side he took a shower but forgot to wash his hair with shampoo.
That's why he smells so bad. He does type faster than his mom.
She is dead on about the typing but needs to be quiet about everything else.
Like his room The Place Where Girls Are In Fear To B. What the heck is that smell dudes?
Good. Could be I don't want girls in my room. it's my room. I barley want my parents in there.
Hey if the laundry didn’t cal me for help I’d never go in.
Well its my laundry. If I want it in a pile in my room or stuffed in my Gym locker then I will have it. And no I will not bring my Gym cloths home tomorrow.
Didn’t they follow you home last week? I opened the washer and they jumped right in.
