Stone Soup by Jan Eliot Alix: Uncle Wally! We found a TURTLE in the park!! Wally: Wow! Wally: I bet he just came out of hibernation! Pretty COOL! Now let's take him back. Alix: But - we want to KEEP him! Wally: Oh, I think he'd rather be FREE than live in a box. Alix: But he'd be warm and cozy and we'd feed him JUJUBES! Wally: Appealing, really, but despite your GENEROUS offer, I hear him saying he misses his park. Alix: Turtles don't TALK. Max: !! Wally: They don't eat Jujubes, either. RUN, BOY, RUN!!

Jujubes! LOL Personally, I think turtles are more Milk Dud fans.

Uncle Wally is finding out every day that the young mind is very strange and different from his logical too adult one!

FYI - I was catching up on the comics, and saw the infer/imply discussion. It appears that the strip in question was modified later to have correct grammar. See: http://www.gocomics.com/stonesoup/2010/03/20/

At least their outside in the sunshine and getting some exercise. Not playing video or electrnic games. It’s a little cool here sun is out. But where in for some warm weather. Whatever happened from going to 50’s, 60’s then 70’s instead of jumping into 80’s?

Turtles make dumb pets - it takes FOREVER to take one for a walk…

To be technical, mammals hibernate, reptiles brumate. The difference is that reptiles do not live off fat reserves and they occasionally awaken to drink.
Now you know.

So HA, shytimes2! You put “Tank” on a leash and go jogging - see how long it takes you…

Unless turtles shoot water, fire, and grass; or eat pizza and practice martial arts, they’re pretty boring. And they’re actually dirtier animals than rats.

Wally must be the grownup, which means in this case the turtle likes his actions more than the kids do!
