MamaJD v. RSPA: Why So Cranky, Pony?

MamaJD (to Rainbow Sparkle Pony Angel): I would like to say as your friend for the past handful of months, I am noticing some crankiness. Whether you are all rainbows one day or sparkles the next, the Pony that lashes out simply to pick a fight just isn't all that nice. Without the trolls around, you have been chronically picking on a few with exasperated sighs. What's going on, Pony? Have the three major life events brought ya down? You have been treating me like the Dairy Queen girl who screwed up your order of Blizzards and banana splits. Get over it, Holmes. Let's move on.

RSPA (to MamaJD): I never could hide anything from you, MamaJD ... those piercing green, blue or brown or whatever color eyes you have could pierce through my curmudgeonly crust and peer straight into my lumpy bavarian cream filling, but, like eclairs left too long on the minivan dash, well it all just sort of melts into a big glob after awhile. Thank you for pointing out my crankiness, I hadn't noticed.
