"TellI don’t think I’ll be able to eat cottage cheese again" She gargled orange juice

"What possessed you to put cottage cheese in the cereal?"

"When I sahat Charlie what he was eating I challenged hiets to pick out a movie and make the loser watch it Believe me, I had no idea he added caramel to his cereal Blech!" Nan shuddered draotten that Nan hated carae cheese "So you thought you would cover the taste of cara else you liked?"

Nan bobbed her head "Yeah, I actually love cottage cheese and thought it was a great idea, and would surely make your brother freak out and I would win The only problem was that when I added the cheese to the cereal and put it in th not to ione bad But I did it, I won" Nan began to do a victory dance around the kitchen

Sara walked in and looked at the bowl in front of Nan, turning her nose up "Okay, Charlie has taken it too far, he’s wasting cereal I paid good rabbed the boay fro breakfast with Charlie"

"I don’t knoas thinking of so really horrible like the whole first season of Power Puff Girls, so" Nan’s face lit up with the prospect of torturing Charlie "Or e cheese"

"Don’t you mean YOU must suffer?" Mina conjectured

"Meh, whatever" After Nan had finished with her tirade, she directed her radar Mina’s way "So dish"

"About WHAT? I can’t believe you I didn’t drive all this way for nothing on a Saturday , I have cartoons to watch Dish about what happened two days ago that made you miss school and send Brody into a coma"
