Another amusing Chucklewood Critters screencap, this time from Season 2's "Nora Know-It-All". In this particular episode, Buttons and Rusty have discovered a new pastime-kite-flying! A very typical activity for young children (well, it was-nowadays I imagine most kids are spending almost all their time playing video games!). Unfortunately, they don't seem to be having much luck, as their kites get tangled up in a strong breeze and come crashing to the ground. They don't really understand what the problem is, but decide to try again. Before they can, however, a strange older owl comes flying up to them. She's looking for someone, but it's not the cubs, and so she's off again in a hurry. Shrugging it off, Buttons and Rusty try again to keep their kites airborne. They're no more successful the second go-around, however-this time they end up ensnaring Quacker, the somewhat dimwitted and severely directionally challenged duck (Speaking of which, I will probably have a collage of him up soon...). Still not understanding why they can't seem to keep their kites flying, they decide to seek out Franklin for help. Let's just be glad they don't live in the Peanuts universe...otherwise a tree would've gobbled up their kites and they would've never seen them again

Anyways, Franklin knows what the problem is-their kites suffer from a lack of aerodynamics. Buttons has never heard that word before, and asks where "aerotymantics" can be found. (Have I mentioned that the cubs' difficulty in pronouncing bigger words is cute? Very true to life-indeed, I remember sometimes saying words wrong as a kid upon hearing them for the first time ) Franklin explains that aerodynamics can help something fly, and says their kites need tails. Thinking he meant actual furry critter tails, Buttons looks down sadly at his own small puffy little tail. "Not my tail, it's too short!" Seeing Rusty's longer, fluffy tail gives him an idea. "Use Rusty's," he remarks here as he tugs on his fox buddy's tail, "it's longer!" Needless to say, Rusty doesn't seem too happy to have his tail pulled! Franklin begins to explain that's not what he meant, but the older owl lady from earlier shows up...and needless to say, I don't think they'll forget her visit!

This is a very cute little scene, but...gosh, that's not really nice of Buttons to suggest using his friend's tail to fly a kite, is it? Children, do not try this at home! Rusty doesn't like having his tail tugged on, and with good reason! It's a physical part of his body, so of course pulling on it will hurt him! At least Buttons didn't do it too hard, otherwise he could've really hurt his pal! I'm sure most of us out there have found out firsthand how much creatures appreciate having their tails pulled when we were little-and promptly got bitten or scratched at by our childhood cats/dogs! Like I said...don't do this to animals!
