there is a small thread hanging off the world

The kids told me they wanted to be the Wonder Pets for Halloween. The Wonder Pets are three classroom pets, a guinea pig, a duckling, and a turtle, who rescue animals in trouble. The kids really love the show, and like to wander all over the house playing at being Wonder Pets. Luckily, there was no argument about who was going to be which character, since they have different favorites. Linny, the guinea pig, is the leader, so naturally that would be Z. Ming-Ming, the duckling, is cute and brave. Of course, she's E's favorite. Then there's the third member, Tuck the Turtle. But I only have two kids.
