We had such a busy weekend! There was a big snack party in Australia, and our host Maree sent us home wiff treats to share wiff mom and dad, and hopefully they will share wiff us too, they sure do smell good, how about we open dem now, what do you fink? Now seems like a good time.
As the boys nap and recober from their journey, we bring you this laugh:
We got dis letter a few months ago, and we were so excited to start trabeling to England, and now Australia! We had to wait until we were old enuff to trabel and get our licences, but we are now!
Here’s what it said:

G’day, mates!! 19 June 2023
Hope you are all well. You’ll need lots of snacks to see you through your growth spurt 😊
Enclosed are new business licences for you all. Let me explain how they work.
Reuben has the Australian spirit animal, the rakali, which is a native water rat. It is brown with a white tail end. They are nocturnal & live along waterways. They are terrific swimmers, having webbed feet & soft water-resistant fur. The drawing on your licence, Reuben, was made by a white early explorer nearly 200 years ago. Rakali represent determination.
Baxter has the Australian spirit animal, the bandicoot. They are small kangaroos, about twice the size of a rat, & have a pointy nose. They are nocturnal & have large eyes to see at night. The drawing on your licence, Baxter, was made by a white early explorer to Australia nearly 200 years ago. Bandicoots represent resilience.
Barry has the Australian spirit animal, the brolga. They are a large bird of the crane family. They are one of Australia’s largest flying birds and live in large flocks. When they are courting, they lift their heads, spread their wings and dance. Australian Aboriginals have made dances that imitate this behaviour. The drawing on your licence, Barry, is an Aboriginal drawing. The brolga represents transformation.
Waffles has the Australian spirit animal, the wombat. They are a marsupial, meaning that they have pouches for their young to develop in, just like kangaroos. A wombat’s young is called a joey. A wombat is a short, muscular brown/grey furry creature that live in burrows underground to sleep in the cool during the hot days. They are largely nocturnal. They are heavy, weighing up to 35kg. They eat grass and roots. Weird fact – their poo is cube-shaped. The drawing on your licence, Waffles, is an Aboriginal drawing. Wombats represent strength.
Fish has the Australian spirit animal, the flathead fish. They live at the bottom of deep rivers. They are solitary fish, living under tree roots or in a cove. They move to shallow water to feed at night. The drawing on your licence, Fish, is an Aboriginal drawing of a flathead in a river. Flathead represent luck.
When you use your licences, invoke your spirit animals for help and success. With the combined power of the above five attributes, (like the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers 😊 ) you are sure to be successful at Marty’s School of Business and in all your business dealings. We hope that you like your licences.
Your mate in Australia,
Wolverine (in Heaben) & Maree
Fank you both so much for the party and all the snacks and fun times in your country – we had the best time looking for our spirit animals, and eben though we didn’t see any ob them, we did see a kangaroo. We thought we might see Barry’s, we got really close to some, but they eluded us. Eben though we couldn’t see them, we will embody the spirit ob what they represent and go forff wiff our school and life and crush it! OMNIA STAPULAE!! Except maybe not today, we might hab to miss school because it’s been a berry busy weekend and we need to take a nap.
P.S. Fanks to #AdminAlly from Rachie’s Retirement Home for the ride from the airport – eberybody here is so nice and helpful!
Our flight to Australia habs been delayed, so we hab more time to explore London, but I better call mom and let her know. Our smartie phone don’t work ober here but I found a street phone. Does anybody know her number? Also, may I borrow a quarter monies?
Dis is amazing!! We got our first Internashunal Bizness licenses and mom said since we at least hab the basic monies principles down, we could go. We don’t know how to make trabel juice yet, so we had to trabel commercial, but it was worff it. Our first stop was Baff where our friends lib. I hab heard baffs aren’t fun, we hadn’t had one yet, so I don’t know. I was worried about a whole city built around the premise, but it turns out you are not allowed to even go in the water, so it worked out! Waffles tried to make us fink he got shrunk in Roman’s baff, but it didn’t work.
We bisited London ob course. Barry lubs music and wanted to bisit Abbey Road and look for some beetles. We didn’t find any. The big boys went on the London eye, but it’s pretty big and scary, so me and Fish had some ob London’s faborite pub food at a place we found in Notting Hill. Fish and chips! Lots ob friendly people there.
Fank you so much Melanie, Paul, Creme Brulee, White Truffle, Oakley, Aspen, Pipipstrelle and Indiana!! We had a wonderful time in England and will come back someday – you should come bisit us in America too. We are going to Australia next, and then we hab to get home for school on Monday.
We looked for Sherlock Holmes, he libs next to Speedy’s but we just missed him. I left him a note.
We hab a few new magnets in the store – it’s our first try at Internashunal Bizness! Fish and Baxter are here to show you. They help hold up your snack lists and stuff. Hab a great weekend eberybody!
The monies class is getting adbanced.
“‘Scuse me, Mr. Kookie… I fink we need to maybe stick to the basics ob monies, maybe we can bisit the monies theory next week?”
Deep in the halls ob MSOB today, Mr. Kookie has begun to teach the boys about monies and fiscal responsibilities. He habs concerns.

It’s Monday and we had to get out ob our socks and go to school. We hab to pick up the other boys. We were late because the bus driber didn’t show up, so Fish is dribing today.
