“Hey, Rafiki, where’s your zebra hair? Your hair’s so plain, like you don’t care.”

“Hey, Rafiki, where’s your fake tattoo? Your skin’s so boring. You are too.”

“Hey, Rafiki, where’s your bling? Your teeth are wonky, that’s the thing.”

“Auntie, can I have zebra hair?”
“I can’t cut you zebra hair. Actually, I wouldn’t dare.”

“My skin’s so boring, Sisi. Can you make a fake tattoo?”

“Bling, my child, don’t mean a thing.”

The next weekend, Santi Ramires scored the winning goal.

On Monday, the Cool Cat Crew strutted by.
