By Karen Perez Imagine a goat riding another goat. Pretty wild, right? Well imagine that but with pink bows and glitter all around! Did you still have that image in mind? Well keep that image! During this worldwide epidemic, you need to think of positive thoughts and try to keep a positive figure for those around you, especially if you have a younger sibling since they have no idea what’s going on.
