Ah, Templeton. He was the best character in that book.
Shouryu, thanks for the tip. I like skittles (but usually don't eat them because diabetes runs in my family - I'm not a diabetic yet and don't want to become one) so I probably would have tried them when I saw them.
Actually I was wrong. Diabetes doesn't run in my family. It walks through slowly, making friends with everyone along the way. :-/
