Bringing this back to the top so it's easier to find. Been sending one a day to my Grandduaghter and we are only down to a tired bike.

She thinks they are funny. But since she just become a teenager she tries to act sophisticated and says "right" "cool" "We know" . But I know she is realy laughing.
