Good answer, Madelane! You can tell Alice the truthi in about 20 yrs.!

I kind of wish Viola’s last name was da Gamba.

I see Dill giving Alice her very own Gila Monster ;)

a plushie of a venomous lizard from the American southwest… wow

“Dad gave me you rugrats. And, I still haven’t forgiven him.”

Nothing says love like a real Gila monster!

Will someone tell me what these children carry in their backpacks?!!

Christmas episode of Jack Benny this week on WMKV, set in Palm Springs – Dennis forgot to bring the live Gila monster he had gotten for somebody to Jack’s Christmas party, so he called his hotel. Staffer who went to get it never came back.

On the plus side, the diabetes drug Byetta is made from Gila monster venom.

The story isn’t only about Petey and Alice. The adults play an important part too.

I want to know how many Christmas sweaters she has and if she will sell any to me.

Probably not many moms have had the gift of a gila monster. And are they distressed over it?

I don’t think so.

Be careful, Petey. Don’t be too much just the anthropological scientist in this matter!

Alice the master of WHOOSH! and MuM the Wizard of WHOOSH!
