Hi my name is Castor I am an asshole! In this last week I have lifted my leg to the fireplace while staring at mommy, farted and almost made mommy barf, chewed off the lining of the tv stand, ate a whole sponge, sniffed some crotches, shit in front of the garage door so mommy could step in it, ate mommy’s phone chord and ate my brother’s food. Why does my mommy love me again?
