A/N - Okay… this is my first try writing in Shakespeare's language. Please be nice, I am not as gifted as you people. Writing a tiny review is one thing, but writing a whole story is quite another.

BUT… If you think this story or the translation REALLY STINKS, let me know, you can kick me until your shoes swell up! ^o^.

The idea for this one shot was born from a conversation between Yunuen and Rose Black Dragon, we were thinking: Where that information comes from? Well, let Michelangelo explain his feelings about it.

Hello everybody! Dudes and dudettes! How are you?

Today I want to share a concern with all of you about a rumor which has been spreading through FFnet.

It's about Leonardo's cooking skills…

Maybe some of you are thinking: Is that all? Big deal! Well, for me, the baby brother, is a big deal!

You know… me and my family are not wealthy, we have never been and I don't know if someday we will be. We are not like Shred-head who seems to have all the money in the world.

When me and my brothers were little, almost babies, master Splinter had a lot of troubles taking care of us. The food was his greatest concern.

To feed four little turtles and himself was a real challenge. He had to be looking for food almost all the time.

Because of that, our sensei was absent almost all the time, and you know Leonardo. Being the responsible one, since he was able to help master Splinter, he always did his best not wasting the food, which meant respect to sensei's great efforts.

Leonardo always learns fast all of our father's lessons, so that means Leo learnt to cook while he was still little. I would say he was like six years old when he did it, if I remember correctly.

Leo is wiser than us, his three little brothers. Leo's love for us and our sensei made him get the best in him.

In our father's absence, our big brother kept us fed, clean, protected and happy.

Come on people, knowing all this you can't still believe that rumor. Leonardo is my hero, my dearest brother; he sets an example for all of us.

I perfectly know that he is not perfect, but he is the best among us. That's one of the many reasons of which he is the leader.

It hurts me deeply that some of you really believe Leonardo is useless cooking, like Rose told me.

I don't want the awesome writers to get angry at me or Rose. Specially those who wrote fics about the issue.

The thought "Leo can't cook" only fits in the world of "what if". PLEASE all of you who really believed it, it was only a joke, IT IS NOT A FACT.

If someone out there feels offended, I offer my sincere apologies. Thank you so much for listening to me, I feel better now.

You know me, I am the goofball, I love jokes, when I read the fics about it, I thought it was funny, but when I knew it was beginning to become a fact... it hurt me.

Mikey out!

Let me know what you think about it. Thanks!
