Excerpt
The Letter People's behavior was governed by inane arguing and fighting. This fact upset Larry and Janet very much.
"Your childish fighting and your foolish sayings are as foolish as foolish could be!" Janet yelled at the suddenly startled Letter People.
"Frank fought fake farmers from Futureville for free fruitcakes and funny fiddlesticks," Puppet said as he read Letter F's mind.
"You aren't helping matters any," Larry reprimanded Puppet.
"Diapers don't do dirty dishes," Puppet answered as the wooden man picked up Letter D's disappointing dumb diction.
Everyone became silent for a moment. "Now that you're all quiet," Larry said, "let's get down to business."
"Business bugs buffaloes and bothers bobsleds," Letter Person B said.
"Bite the bullet!" Puppet yelled at B as he read Janet's secret thoughts.
