[daredevilwolf]

what was your dad's favorite episode?

i'm gonna watch monk so i want to know which one to look out for

[peddlestools]

i'm not sure i can remember

[fernandocolunga]

her dad is positively glowing in that photo with tony omg that’s a fan

[trendsnational]

Did she grow up with money?

I don't think so. She's talked about working a bunch of jobs to support herself in college and how she resented the kids in her program who didn't put in any effort and didn't seem to care because their parents would always financially support them.

I think Ayo is delightful and lovely. I'm a Monk fan too. Every episode makes me laugh.
