KLEE-klik it says when you push the back of this little metal toy with the picture of a cricket on it. Sounds something like a real cricket, and just like the brass versions that U.S. paratroopers carried on D-Day for communicating in the hedgerows around Ste. Mare Eglise. Also just like the one Sister Mary Inviolata used to coordinate precision kneeling/standing exercises during our Confirmation practice, which was only slightly more organized than D-Day. You will get (6) cricket clickers for $2.95.

Nothing sets a young person's heart a-flutter like the mournful cry of a train whistle, a sound that promises adventure, mystery, freedom. We can't offer you any of that, but this may be the next best thing. You've likely seen wooden train whistles like this before-about 6" long, with holes in the top you blow into to create a high-pitched 'moving out' signal. But you've probably never seen them at a good surplus price before. Allons!

I flung my bug into the air.
It fell to earth in sister’s hair.
Her look was cold, invectives rang.
I never should have flang that thang!
Reach out with one of these stretchy, sticky toys and touch someone, like your sister, or one of her squeamish friends. With practice, you can grab a paper from a desk several feet away. The neon–yellow butterfly is about 2” long, and on a 10” string of the same stretchy goop, and have 3” plastic handles for better flinging. Our package of (2) ensures that you’ll have a spare after the first one is confiscated.
