[Petbunny] Grace/: Re: Birth of the Mafia/Time of Arrival

[Criss and bunnies]

I have noticed one thing, boy dutch tend to be sweeter then girls. Now that's now always the case of course, but the girls that have been born here were born with a bit of attitude.(Except for Frankie).

The boys are easily whipped into shape by the right female. (Gray walks the line for Cassandra, she's another Emmy). Mina grew up in the same house with the same conditions and no one makes her walk any dang line .

Even Jonny B Badd is whipped by his own grand daughters, but I'd never tell him that.. (He'd say he's a grandpa , it's ok)

Knowing Mina, Emmy and Cassandra I can see why it's just easier to obey them. (beats bleeding..right)

Yeah, we can all laugh about it now..Just as soon as I shut down that new portal in Gingers closet. (dang dutch opened a new one..They hired outside help this time..)
