French Fry Tree
Hey, Flapper?
I brought you a few french fries so you could plant your French fry tree.
And I saved one for you to eat, if you want it.
“Oh oh… I DO want it!”
Here you go, buster.
“Aaaah, nom nom nom.”
Okay let’s get planting.
I dug a hole and dropped the fries in the hole. Now we’ll…
Flaaaapper! You CAN’T EAT THEM if you want to try to grow a French fry tree!
“I’m sorry. Do you have any more fries?”
Yes, Flapper. I saved a few extras in case this happened. They are buried now.
“Make sure you get them tucked in tight. Did you get that dirt on the edge?”
It’s good, Flapper. The fries are planted.
“Okay I think it looks good, too. Are you good, French fries?”
“I love you, French fries. Please grow so I can have a French fry tree.”
I know they will try their hardest, Flapper. But it can be tough to grow things sometimes.
“Now we wait.”
Yep, that’s right. I’ll water them for you, Flapper.
“Thanks, Mom. Can you water them with ketchup, too?”
Maybe a little bit, Flapper. That’s a good idea.
“I have another idea. Do you think we could have a few French fries while we wait for the French fry tree to grow?”
I guess that would be okay, Flapper. But just a few.
“Nom nom nom.”
Careful, Flapper. Just eat the fries, not my thumb.
“Sorry. Those were so good.”
“I’m so excited! This French fry tree is going to be great!”
Well… let’s not get too excited just yet, Flapper. It might take a long time to grow.
“I will try to be patient. I hope it grows SO MUCH.”
I know you do, Flapper. I hope it grows, too.
We’ll check back in a few days and see what happens.
NOTE: French fries are a sometimes treat, not an every-day treat. They’re not good for ducks, but Flapper dreams about them all the time.

Your narrations and pictures are so great!
I could not possibly love that duck more. Adorable!
This is the sweetest ever!!!! Good luck with your tree Flapper!
I JUST LOVE FLAPPER. His blog is such a pick-me-up. Fingers crossed for the French fry tree!
Flappy is magical! If there’s anyone who can grow a french fry tree, it’s Flap.
Make sure to fertilize the area well, buddy.
I DO believe in french fry trees! I DO believe in french fry trees… (claps hands and crosses fingers)
Lovely pix & dialogue.
Only you, Flapper! (And Mom, too!)
Keep up the good care of your French Fry seeds and watch it grow!
So sweet!
Hehe, the third pic from the top totally needs “NOM!” lolcap’d at the bottom.
Good luck with your french fry tree, Flapper!
It is my understanding that there is a certain fertilizer that has to be used for growing french fries. You could check with Ciscoe.

This is a typical mature french fry tree, with ripened french fries as usual around Christmas time. Hang on Flap, only six more months!!
Ha ha ha, how sweet of you to give Flapper a fry tree. I guess since he wants it so much it will grow;-) I will keep my green fingers crossed for your cute boy!
Ooooh Kim. That is a great find! A true french fry tree! Flapper will be so happy to see it is possible. He is getting impatient.
