When You Haven't a Clue, the Bully's On You. I hope you're ready for sweetness, because My Clueless First Friend has plenty of it. (Especially if you have experienced bullying at school.) It's super cute and I hope there will be more of it in the future. Speaking of cute, that is our main theme for next week. Or maybe not. It depends on who you ask. See you all then. -Stig Høgset.
