He’d fallen for an adventurous blond, never guessing that a red-headed couch potato hid beneath those bleached tresses. (119)

Every one of these 4 is so cute and really did make me laugh out loud. I love the Goldilocks allusions!

Hi GMa, these were all good except that I didn’t like the last one. I don’t like people to get whacked, especially betweem married folk.
My favorite was the second, I always did like Goldilocks.

So cute Grandma. You were thinking along the same lines that I was. I also thought about the idea of some child owning them & the toys actually being toys. lol
