On Wednesday, I received an odd letter from Mom in the mail. She told me to “eat them, raise them, or sell them.” She then “clarified” (but not really) by saying that she’s not talking about my animal friends! So what was <\/em>she talking about? \ud83e\udd14<\/p>\n\n\n

\"Dear
I like the bubble wrap paper!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

I got the answer when I saw the attached item: a peach. Okay, that makes more sense. \ud83d\ude1b The peach is a foreign fruit, but it’s not one that I needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Filbert asked me to deliver a letter to Tank, and Tank was nice enough to show me the letter. It was just as weird as you’d expect from Filbert: <\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"To
Wow, he literally ate his words. That’s one way to stamp out hunger.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

When I returned to Filbert, he thanked me for delivering the letter. He also gave me a fairy-tale wall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yesterday, there was a new “Talking to Myself” message posted to the bulletin board. It was about having picnics by yourself. \ud83e\uddfa<\/p>\n\n\n

Today, Curt started telling me a story about how he slipped on the ice and got snow up his nose! \ud83d\ude06 I like this story already!<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"Curt:<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

But his amusing story took a sudden turn. It turns out that he was just shilling for Lyle (who was in town today) and his insurance company!<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"Curt:
He had snow up his nose, but insurance on his mind.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Don’t help out Lyle, man! They otter <\/em>be ashamed of themselves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tank was talking about the brain freeze you get from a really cold drink, and he said it makes him feel like he’s getting “smarter and smarterer<\/em>.”<\/p>\n\n\n

Somehow, I don’t think that’s what’s happening. \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you haven’t seen my latest Wild World video, which I posted last weekend, here it is. It’s episode 74:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
