Fajita Gets Very Confused

Hello, Hello, Hello! It’s me, Fajita!!! It’s been SO long since I got lucky enough to write to you all, don’t you think? Do you think it’s fair that Yeti and Scottie have been hogging all the stories lately? Can you tell them to share a little more, maybe? At least Yeti brought us along on her trip to the beach in Michigan- can you believe it? Also, can you believe how beautiful this Fall day was?

Did you notice how good Snitch is at hanging upside down? Do you think I could learn to do that? Do you think I’ll ever grow as big and tall as Snitch and Twitch? Will it just take a really long time?

When will we get to the beach? Are we there yet? Maybe I hear something… maybe not? Can you see if we’re almost there?

How about now? Are we at the water yet? Is it time to play?

Do we have to walk all that way? I’m getting tired. It’s much harder for little legs to hop that far. Will someone please carry me? No??? But I said “please.” Can you get that Pigeon to come help me out? He’s good at convincing people to do things…. Oh, wait. No he isn’t. Why doesn’t anyone listen to the smallest friends? Are we there yet?

Hooray! We made it to the beach. That was some work. I think it’s time to play, don’t you?

Why is this sand so black and shiny? Do you think it’s because Taco breathed on it and he’s a dragon? Aren’t all these sparkles pretty? Did it take a long time to put them in the sand? Do you think we can dig them out?

In case you’re wondering, no. Or at least we couldn’t. We sure tried for a long time… so long that Yeti and friends gave up on us. Do you think she would have helped if the sparkles were worth lots of money?

Doesn’t Yeti look peaceful right there? What do you think she, Snitch, and Twitch were talking about? How come big people and important friends don’t want inquisitive, question-asking kangaroos around all the time? Do you ever get kicked out of conversations? Who gets to decide who’s in charge of talking? Who’s in charge, anyway? Taco and I decided to take matters into our own hands. Good idea, yes?

Haha! We’re kings of the mountain now! How about that? Have you ever seen a cooler mountain made by two small friends? If so, will you tell us about it? I’d love to see what you’ve made! Can you make a fire like Taco and I can?

Do you have any marshmallows for us to toast? How about hot dogs? Why didn’t anyone bring any snacks to the beach? Do we have to go fishing to eat around here? Which way to the water?

Where do bubbles come from? Is there someone with a straw blowing really hard into the lake? Is it the turtles and fishes? Why don’t some bubbles pop right away? Can any bubbles last forever? How about really, really tiny ones? How do bubbles float? Does it take more work for them to float on the water or in the air? Can they ever float up from the water into the air? Is it possible to learn how to fly? Am I old enough to learn? Do you think this friend might teach me?

If you know how to fly and you’re willing to share, can you let me know? Will you tell me what you know about bubbles? Can you carry me home from the beach so I don’t have to hop back? Please….?
