I remember when they asked if you wanted help and then offered it, but now you ask them for their help and they act like your really putting them out.

They were too big cos they were your big brothers first and the holes he made in them. But, there was always Saterday morning pictures. Hooray for the hero, Boooooo to the villains. We may have worn cast offs but we did enjoy ourselves. And how about the penny gobstopper? Suck it for at least two days, fur and all.
