My name is Parris. I'm a Princess. I wear a White Fur Coat. I have two brudders, so I sympathize with you dear Lily. Ping Is He sounds a bit like my clod of a brudder. When mommy adopted me, she thought I *needed* a brudder. Of all the ones available, she chose The Kidd. I guess she felt sorry for him. He was asleep in the latrine with his head resting on a pile of, well, you know...... I suppose you have figured this out for yourself, dear Lily, but brudders can be a bit like, uh, boys. Good Luck teaching him manners dear. Just remember, when he pulls your ears, pulls the blankie out from under you, and turns the hammy over while you are still in it, that means he loves you. Really. Your friend, Parris [Posted in FML issue 4845]
