Margie: Friends, today is Learn About Butterflies Day. I love our butterflies and I enjoy sitting on the porch just watching all the colors and varieties. How much do you know about these beautiful creatures?
Did you know that butterflies can see red, green, and yellow? That's more than Edna can see on a good day.
The top butterfly flight speed is 12 miles per hour. Some moths can fly 25 miles per hour! They go as fast as the gentlemen getting away from Edna.
Butterflies and insects have their skeletons on the outside of their bodies, called the exoskeleton. This protects the insect and keeps water inside their bodies so they don’t dry out.
Sakes alive, I'd best go get some water so my body won't dry out. Go read about butterflies:
Margie: Edna, I have an idea to share with our readers. What do you think about letting them ask us questions?
For instance, they might want to ask why you're so crabby all the time. I'd like to hear that answer myself.
Edna: Margie, I doubt our readers would ask that. They're much too polite to make crass (and false) observations like that.
I do like this idea, though. We have a lot of knowledge to share...well, I do anyway. You're just a blowhard.
Margie: Genteel ladies like me can answer most any question from polite society. I know all about cooking, gardening, handsome gentlemen, rules of dating, and so forth.
Actually, there's not much I don't know. I'm not too good at math or geography though. What do you know, Edna?
Edna: I'm sure there's plenty you don't know, but I'll make up for your shortcomings like I always do. To paraphrase my favorite TV character, Dean Winchester: "I know a little about a lot of things, just enough to make me dangerous."
This could be fun, Margie!
Margie: Fruit loop!
Okay friends, here's your chance to ask us whatever you'd like to know. Please excuse us if we don't answer questions of a too personal nature. Ladies never tell as you know.
Anything else, Edna?
Edna: I think that pretty much says it all, Margie. We'll do our best to answer your questions, dear readers. And I'll try and keep my sister from lying when she doesn't know the answer.
Please leave your questions in the comments, and we will respond to them on Sept. 21st.
