(But I am sad that the "pyrats bootie" ice cream didn't make it on the K. Rool menu.) I forgot to tell you that I put Iris on the "Hot Tables" list in the kitchen. So you probably got treated like VIP's thanks to her.</p> Oh cute! (But I am sad that the “pyrats bootie” ice cream didn’t make it on the K. Rool menu.)
