how else are you going to make a cup holder, Petey?

These kids are all such superb characters.

Loris and Petey, doing the old switcheroo, where the boy says or does something gross, disgusting the girl.

Loris for MVP of the team! Where is Andre?

My cat has eyes like Loris’ – just before she starts racing up and down the hall and through the house. Fun times.

Germ-a-phobe, Life-a -phobe.

when I was a kid, when we actually free ranged played outdoors all summer, finding a mostly clean popsicle stick was a treasure. It was a good digging tool until we ultimately broke it.

Petey’s about to give his immune system a booster shot. Or he’s gonna get really sick.

Waiting for the rubber bands to start popping out of Loris’ hair!

Loris is so understanding and yet off target at the same time, ha

Ideas as to a future career path for Petey?

Oh, Loris, don’t you know by now that Petey is a germaphobic, paranoid obsessive compulsive person?

Ahem! Petey Why don’t you find something to put your water bottle in? Or just drink it and put it in a garbage desposer.

Poor Petey he was born to be afraid of the germ infested world.

With the focus on sticks, could Loris be related to the Lorax?…

Loris and Petey wear the same team colors. So I guess she feels obligated to come to his rescue. It’s just that Petey Otterloop is really, really hard to rescue….
