In the quaint town of Rosewood, the three Lawrence kids, notorious for their reign of terror at the local kindergarten, quickly caught the attention of the headmistress. Determined to nip their behavior in the bud, she summoned the leader, Damian, for a chat. “Damian,” she said, her voice stern but caring, “where on earth did you pick up such unruly habits?”

Without skipping a beat, Damian blurted out, “Robin,” making The headmistress reach for the phone to confront their mother, Eleanor. She demanded to know who this Robin was and why he was leading the child astray.
