"Whoa. What're you doing down here, Mom?"

I thought I'd sit on the lawn with you guys tonight, O'Malley. How does that sound?

"That's awesome! We can eat bugs together. Mom's going to eat bugs with us!"

Whoa, wait a minute, Malley.

"I'll show you how to catch bugs. You have to be really still like this, and concentrate."

Oh wait, hold on Phoebe Kay... I am just going to sit here with you guys.
I'm not going to eat bugs.

"You don't have to be shy about not being very good at catching bugs.
We were all beginner bug catchers once."

"Just watch really closely. I'll catch the first one for you."

Oh Petunia Peach, that is a very sweet offer but really, I'm seriously not going to eat any bugs. I just want to watch you guys do it and sit here on the lawn.

"She's eating bugs with us! Petunia is showing her how to catch them. This will be fun!"

No, no Flapper. I just want to sit here with you guys. NO BUGS YOU GUYS!

"I think she's just embarrassed that she doesn't know how. It's okay. We don't want to pressure her too much her first time. Maybe she'll try again another time."

"Yeah there's no pressure. We can just hang out. You don't have to be a good bug catcher to be our friend. Do you want a drink from the pool?"

Thanks, Kozmo. And no thanks.

"Can I sit next to you?"

Of course you can, Flapper. I'd like that.

"Uh oh here comes O'Malley I GOTTA GO!"

"I'd better nap over here instead."

I guess you're right, Flapper. It's best to stay out of O'Malley's way.

I think I'm in a bit of a danger zone myself. I think I'll move over a bit.

"Suit yourself."

"I'll sit with you, but first I need to stretch."

"Stretch to the left. Ooooh yes, that's good."

"Streeetch to the right. Almost done now, one more side. Mmmmm that's a good stretch."

Ha ha, you're funny, O'Malley. Very good stretching.

"Let's discuss your fear of bugs. Look at me. I'm serious."

Sigh.

This is Daffy, Flapper & O'Malley's newest friend. Lookin' good, Daffy!
Thanks for sending in your photo. I hear you have a "thing" for a couple of Rouens in Florida, is that rumor true?

Flapper would also like to say "QUACKS!" to his new buddy in Utah, Duck King.
Thanks to Tricia (buddy 'ol pal) for sending in his photo.
