One inner-Swiddle Child Mix equal parts: Max from _Where the Wild Things Are_ (And he tamed them with the magic trick of staring into all their yellow eyes…) Lucy from _Peanuts_ (The Doctor is IN) ELOISE from…_ELOISE_ (Ooooh, I absolutely LOVE the Plaza) Cartman (I’m gonna go nyaa, and you’re gonna go nyaa. Me Nyaa, you Nyaa) Wait, it’s less a mixture then an inner child with multiple personalities. Mostly, I am Eloise. [hyjack]Eve, you’d know this: was Rhonda wearing a wig? Because I found her freaky Children-of-the-corn hair as disturbing as the plot itself…[/hyjack] ---
