Jokes on You
Drew looked down at Stu's new invention. It was a remote control bumblebee that flew to a metal flower automatically. The idea was that kids were supposed to try and catch the bee before it got to the flower. A really interesting toy…
He smirked when he saw his dad working on the lawn, a delightful little prank coming to him. If he took the flower and stuck it in his dad's pocket…
But then Drew looked down at Angelica and knew he couldn't do it. Angelica was at the age were she liked to copy whatever the adults were doing. If he pulled a prank on his dad then Angelica would decide it was fun to pull pranks on people… and most likely she'd begin pranking the family. With how Didi was she wouldn't like it if she pranked Tommy… and if she did Dil?
He shook his head and left the flower where it was.
'Besides, knowing dad if I got near him he'd kill me with a Monster Punch!'
"I would," Lou said, reading his thoughts.

Dil sighed as he watched his brother play with his friends. He desperately wanted to play too! Because if he didn't play then Tommy would pick one of the new Dils his mommy was growing and make that his brother! He already knew that everyone else would probably pick the other Dils… his mommy and his g'an'pa had planted them, after all! So they must REALLY want new Dils. And daddy always made new things so he'd like a new Dil! And doggy… well, maybe doggy would pick Dil but he didn't know how to make the Doggy happy!
So that left Tommy…
Except… Dil didn't know how to get his brother to pick him!
He supposed it meant being a good baby. And he had been trying to be better! He and Tommy had played the game where Tommy did what he did… and he had done that itch-nation thingy…
"Tommy!" he called out.
"One second, guys!" Tommy called out, toddling over to his brother. "What's wrong, Dilly? Me and my friends are playing!"
His friends… not Dil's friends. Chubby and Philip and Lilip would never pick him over a new Dil!
"Pick meeeeee!" Dil exclaimed.
"Huh?" Tommy said, confused. "No Dil, I can't pick you up, mommy said no."
Dil shook his head. "Pick Dil!"
"Pick you? For what!"
"Me! Pick me! Not dils!" He pointed at where the other Dils were. "Me!"
"Sorry Dil, but we can't play in the dirt. Mommy doesn't want us to."
Dil got frustrated. "ME! TOMMY PICK ME!" He reached out… and grabbed Tommy's ear, yanking on it.
"OW!" Tommy cried out, his grandpa coming over.
"Well, I think someone needs a nap," he said, picking Dil up.
"Tommy! Pick me!" Dil pleaded as his g'an'pa took him away.
But Tommy just kept playing… and Dil worried no one would pick him…
