Brotherly love… death is not enough

October 26, 2012 By Ellen

This charming notice has appeared on Boy One’s bedroom door.  Interesting to note that moron was rejected in favour of baboon and that death is not enough as the ultimate threat appears to be the naking of his stuff. UPDATE: An expert handwriting decoder (AKA a primary teacher) reckons the ultimate threat is braking his stuff.
