You look like a peanut.
What! I’m gonna tell mom.
So do you.
I don’t look like a peanut like you. I look like a princess!
No! I’m supposed to be a Princess!
Ohh... I forgot that they look like us.
SO?! I don’t care because mom and dad look like peanuts too.
No. You look like a peanut, just like me.
Sorry. I got to go.
Anyway. I’m supposed to be the Prince, not you.
Go where?
To become a Prince.
You know, if you are a Prince...
See ya! I got to go.
No! Wait for me!

I’ll just be me.
That’s what you want to show me?!

Yes.
NO.
Now you can take care of my kitty while I’m gone.
Why didn’t you say sorry? SAY SORRY!
Sorry, sorry—you forgive me?
I do not understand women.
