This is post 20 of Section I. To begin at the beginning, go here. "Little Gay Riding Hood" begins here.
“So the wolf tore off the cloak and ran off into the woods, where he met other wolves—”

Jack gave a growl and playfully wrestled Robert down.

Maybe he's an archetype complaining about stereotypes. Naw. But there they go wrestling down under the down comforter! When the sergeant yelled for his soldiers to "get down!" the black guys jumped up and started dancing while the gay guys cuddled together. Lord, help me!
I think a good grandma line would be wrong here.
T&I: Very amusing. CHRISTOPHER helps those who help themselves.
Doug: I agree.
Alpha male - that would be ME in our family! Bailey is second, and sadly, Baxter is third. The birds don't count.
Hey, transgendered SP! Thanks for hanging in here. First daughter post coming up.
