I focused a full year of soley writing Suzy stories.
The stories all seem to have one of the following two themes - either
she is helping someone or getting into trouble. Either way it is
sock popping hilarious. Some classic stories from this year include
Malassie: The Kung Fu Dog, Mathieu, The White Poppy and The Lazy
Monkeys.

While walking to the dentist I came across

I read an article about scientists experimenting
with a "go-getter" gene in monkeys. If there is
a "go-getter" gene there must be a "lazy"
gene. |
