The Three Goofballs

May 25, 2020 by Anthony

Goofballs. Goobers. Dorks. Clowns. Weirdos. Free spirits.

Whatever you call them, there’s no doubt that Honey B, Mave and Willy B know how to have fun. We’ve been focusing so much lately on Willy B’s exciting forays “into the great outdoors” that I decided to share some clips of his group being playful and rowdy earlier today.

Please enjoy the video, everyone!

    Beginning around 1:33 -ish, Honey B has me literally laughing out loud while she’s up in the air & gleefully spins round & around, & with that utterly a d o r a b l e look on her face…

    Then Willy B has me cracking up as he carefully aims his waterfall “squirt gun” at Lisa…What a rascal this dear boy is…Was he doing that just as a playful gesture, instead of “testing” Lisa to assure himself she’s “worthy” of his trust…Whatever the reason… it sure was funny…I also got a kick out of Honey B looking backwards for a second when she boinks the top of Mave’s head with the paper…

    We laughed out loud at all of this video! Hysterical!

    That was some major league silliness! I can’t wait until the ladies discover that if they go outside, their games of chase will be even more fun!

    And, from the growl, a *very* good apple!

    Did she have Jamie’s permission to play with that boot!?

      That’s so funny, I said out loud “is that Jamie’s boot?”
      Must be, great minds think alike 🙂

        I wondered the same thing about the boot…hahaha

    Fantastic fun…. love the girls’ goofiness.. I too am wondering if Willy B was “testing” or if that oral squirt gun is a play-vitation……. it appears the others do it too… I’ve apparently not caught this behavior posted much before.. maybe I missed explanations… Love the video!

    Add The Three Stooges, Knuckled heads, and screwballs to that list. Even Mave had a mouthful of water (at 1:00) that little scamp! To volunteer Lisa, I was laughing at your laughter, seems like an honor to have the big man treat you to such fun and shenanigans. Oh, and Honey B’s lettuce-speckled lips up close and Willy B’s apple grunts were the best.

    Lots of fun and silliness was had today. Thanks for the video!!

    The highlight of this film was spinning upside down on the blue towel, OMG did that have me laughing. So funny. Amazing that there was such momentum to keep it going for so long.

    The video was great. Obviously they do know how to have fun and what
    they like. True freedom for them. Loved it.
