Ignoring the half-pitying, half-amused looks from his friends. Yuri forced himself to eat. " Oh, wow. Brother! " Hallie was fascinated. " Your face matches the color of your bento. "

My first cub Ash, who seems to be bigger with darker fur than my little one Neo, cries out as he eagerly tries to escape.

"Yeah, we had salad… it always tastes yuck… there were so many veggies and I didn't like any," Neo responds. I could hardly hold my laughter as I picked up my boys, accompanying them to sit on the couch, when I accidentally unmuted the TV but paid no attention to it. "Don't eww the veggies boys, remember what I said about your veggies, you need it to grow up…"
