“Certified: Bonkers in the Best Way”

Well doggies what do we have here? Jellybean pirates and, their flying spaceship, oh dear. Oh no, they brought their pet, a chocolate marshmallow dragon! Better get me the larger hay ken wagon! Now what do I do? With Jellybean pirates jumping around, they’re jumping so high and smashing to the ground. Cracking their shells and boy what a smell!  Their pet dragon has purple claws and a ribbon tail. If I tell someone I’ll be put in jail! Now what do I do with these weird aliens from outer space? They’re too large to fit in my gee-rage. Maybe I’ll set them up in my barn, I’ll have to warn Bessie not eat the dragon. Maybe my misses will be home she’ll know what to do.

YEE-HAW, Pa! You’ve rustled up a rootin’-tootin’ sugar-fueled space, dudes, and I am lovin’ every chewy, gooey second of it! Look at the size of that dragon! A dark chocolate packaged dragon with a baby blue bow, how sweet it is. Is he squishy too?

Yes Maw, he’s squishy, where should we keep these silly Jellybean pirates? And marshmallow dragon, I don’t think Betsie would like the smell as they crack open. They don’t do much but jump high and their shells crack when they hit the ground. They stink worse than a rotten potato sitting in an outhouse!

Well Pa, Let’s take Betsie and put her in the extra chicken penitentiary, for now. And I hope the dragon doesn’t melt in the barn. That would be awful. Do you know if those crazy jumping jellybean pirates talk?
