Over the Hedge by T Lewis and Michael Fry for May 18, 2022

I was going to say I want a yo-yo, but what I really want is to have as much fun with it as Hammy does.

Cat’s cradle is a classic game with strings. Squirrel’s cradle…not so much.

I know some people will not allow themselves to have fun with this, but I wish for everyone to have fun – “Have a wonderful day.”:

Zippity-doo-dah Zippity-ay … My, oh, my, what a wonderful day

Plenty of sunshine headin’ my way … Zip-a-dee-doo-dah, zip-a-dee-ay!

Mister Bluebird’s on my shoulder … It’s the truth, it’s “actch’ll”

Everything is “satisfactch’ll” … Zip-a-dee-doo-dah, zip-a-dee-ay

Wonderful feeling, wonderful day!

That little Hammy can live in my yard. I’ll see that he is taken care of.

♫ Squirrels just wanna have fu-un ♪ Oh yeah, squirrels just wanna have fun ♫

I still have a yo-yo somewhere, as well as my original cat’s cradle string. Fun used to be so much easier.

More strings than a philosophy would have had

I love playing with yo-yos. I’m quite the yo-yo expert.

What happens if you give a yoyo to flock of flamingos? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OvPjtolajZk

Wasn’t Tom Smothers the Yo-Yo Man?

What a milestone, Hammy actually screws up!

Looks like a Duncan Butterfly. 1967 model, I think, after they lost the Dagmar bumpers.

Oh man, my yo-yos only ever had around 3 feet of string – never enough to tangle myself in a tree. but I did manage to tangle it around my legs!

I have the same problem with Yos.
