Pete's Funny Quote of the Day

Pretending that his friend got in trouble and he is in charge of dealing out punishments: "Don't touch the scissors.  I'm gonna spank you on your body."  It sounds just like this: "Don't tutth duh thithuth.  I'm gonna thank you on thyo body."

Aunt Vanessa and Uncle Jason come to town - and we all go up north!
