I can go twice as hiiiiggghh, take a look, it's in a book, it's reading raiinbboooww.



Oops, it's supposed to be "butterfly" not "dragonfly." Oh well :) I miss that show. Used to watch it all the time as a kid.

I used to be really good at catching dragonflies. My mom taught me how. First you wait for it to land. Then you sneak up behind it very very slowly (I know it sounds impossible but it works), and then you grab its wings as quickly as you can! If you're not patient, you can always rapidly cup it in your hand once it lands, as was my mom's technique of choice, although I avoided that tactic because I was afraid of accidentally smooshing it.

Helloo little dragonfly. Keep looking yonder there... yes, that's right...
