jmg1217 Posted January 6, 2019 Author Share Posted January 6, 2019 Rick giggled and nodded excitedly. He began moving his arms like a monkey making what he thought were monkey noises and jumping up and down. He laughed and laughed. of course this had a disastrous effect on his shoes one flip flop went flying in the air the other went skidding across the enclosure. When Rick realized he froze “sorry, I... I was.being a monkey and I got cited” he had tears in his eyes Link to comment
DangerNoodles Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 “It’s ok silly monkey we can just carry you for now I’m not angry with you at all” Mike cooed and gave him a hug. “Are you hungry?” He asked Rick smiling at him he just loved how cute he was Link to comment
