Rogue Quote by Gina Damico
““Ferbus assumed a hyperventilating position, his hands on his knees. 'Oh no,' Skyla said, concern splashing across her face. 'Is he anemic? Clinically asthmatic?' 'No,' Uncle Mort said, thwacking Ferbus on the head as he started climbing the stairs. 'Just lazy.' 'Clinically lazy!' Ferbus wheezed.””
