bassackward boB’s Grilled Cheese Sandwich
boB’s first words were ‘moM’, ‘daD’, and ‘kayak’ which did nothing to arouse any suspicion. Even when he blurted his first sentence “So many dynamos!” nobody could have guessed at his condition. But when boB exclaimed ‘repaid!’ when he filled his diaper, his concerned parents consulted the family doctor who diagnosed him with bassackwarditis. Inspite [...]

The Chocolate fiends are the type who aggressively attack with a spoon to get their [...]
