“Ooops,” Poseidon said as his mantle billowed behind him.
“Maybe I shouldn’t have had bean burritos for lunch.”
“Really, dear. Stop worrying. A little extra
time in the tanning booth never hurt anyone!”
Whoa. “What? Oh no, your butt doesn’t look big
in those jeans. Not at all.”

    Yeah, it is kinda gross, e. But I guess that’s why it’s so funny (to my 11 year old brain anyway).

    I agree, Cathy!
