One glorious day in a far-off land, we find ourselves witnessing the beautiful beginnings of another day. The sun is rising patiently on the eastern horizon, a stunning burned orange in color. Light beams are shining throughout the morning sky. Streams of clouds streaked the pale blue up above. Below we find a sea of green speckled with small patches of red, orange, lavender, and yellow of the ever-present floral arrays sprinkled about.

No, no, wait, Binki, hold on, said Betty.

Aaaah, you’re a party pooper, Betty, said Binki with

Now, Mom, Dad, are you sure we’re ready for this? asked Betty. There is a lot of temptation and bad people out there. Are you sure we’ll be okay?

"Well, Betty, your
