Part III: What Happens a Cappella? (Chapter 47)


 

You’re so much like your mother, before she turned bad, and I wouldn’t want that to happen to my little Candy Cuddler, so listen to me when I tell you how to be good.

I can’t believe how naughty your mother is, and you don’t want to be like her, do you?

Of course not. Now listen to your Auntie. I’m going to buy you a pretty blue dress for your birthday.

We’ll put it out for the garbage man RIGHT NOW.
