"Grug?" Ugga calls out as we all look around for him

Next is the the youngest boy's turn to call out, "Dad?"

"Dad?" My sister calls again.

"He's a big guy. How can he just disappear like that?" Guy groans out as he looks around.

"Hey wait. Let's ask that ugly lady if she's seen dad." Thunk says pointing at someone making us all turn to look in said direction.

"Yeah." Ugga agrees.

We watch Grug spin around. He's wearing a rasta-style wig made from knotted grass.

"Haven't seen him." Grug tells us very much sounding and looking like a hippie.

"Augh!" My mom yells jumping back a little.

We stand around Grug all looking very concerned.

"What are you doing?" Ugga asks Grug very concerned

"Yeah, Wow. Like, I was up all night cuz like all these, ideas just kept coming to me." Grug tells us, very obviously making fun of Guy, which I don't like.

Grug lifts his tunic, a Boa Constrictor is wrapped around his waist.

"Is that a snake?" Guy asks as I stand behind him, peaking over his shoulder

Grug tries to show off to us, "Belt! New and improved! It's even self-tightening. Ow!"

The constrictor squeezes Grug till he turns blue. Grug smacks it and it relaxes a little.

"What is that on your head?" Ugga points out.

"It's called desperation." Gran says, which causes my to cover my mouth wih my hand to stop from laughing.

Grug strokes his weird, fake rasta-hair.

"I call it a 'rug.' Rhymes with Grug. And this one. I call it a 'ride.' Rhymes with Grug." The mad man tells us as he swing his "hair" around.

Grug regards a boulder as if it's a Ferrari.

"That, doesn't--" Guy tries to stop Grug, as his eyes shift between Me and Grug.

"It's gonna get us places faster than shoes." Grug tries to explain to us.

Grug climbs on top of the rock, facing the wrong way.

"Yeah. Try to keep up." Grug brags to us.

We watch as he leans forward. The "car" rolls downhill and smashes through a redwood, toppling it.

"I wish I had a ride." Thunk says disappointed as I look at him like he's absolutely crazy.

I look at Thunk to see his face slathered with reddish mud.

"Painting is a thing of the past. I call this, a 'snap-shot.'" Grug says still acting like a hippie, which makes me roll my eyes, Guy, noticing my annoyance, sneaks his arms around my waist, pulling me so my back meats his chest, and resting his chin on my shoulder.

We watch as Grug takes a huge flat stone and smashes it against Thunk, forcibly transferring the mud image to the rock. Grug shows the Croods.

"Let's do it again. I think I blinked." Thunk says disoriented.

Thunk then passes out.

I look over to see the rest of the Croods wearing wooden sunglasses. They are effectively wearing blindfolds.
