Francine answered Rayette’s call.
“Hey, I wonder if you and Little Ralph would like to go with me and Little Frankie to the Aquarium today?
“I'm not sure, Rayette?”
“What do you mean?”
“Well, the last time Little Ralph saw a sea turtle, he got upset. He thought it was his Uncle Leo.”
Rayette knew Leo, with his thick glasses, bald head, and cheap cigars. She empathized with Little Ralph.
“And he was frightened of the flounder.”
“Did he think that was Leo's wife, what's her name…”
“Gloria?”
“Yeah, Gloria.”
“Not exactly… He said it looked more like Little Frankie.”
