Courtesy Pattern : CP25 - DumDums Need You!

Assemble the Lovebugs!
Last Evening's First Annual Assemblage of the Lovebugs was moving along at a faster than anticipated pace and really making some headway.  




The LoveBugs had brilliantly devised a resolution to childhood tears and broken spirits in all children, everywhere - with LOVE, patience and understanding through love-bites.  
and that's when someone brought out the DumDums!!  
A whole case of them.  
  


We're still investigating where exactly this box came from.. and who brought it...but that's definitely when things got .. 




well they got downright ugly!  



Now being a LoveBug, fighting is not in their sweet nature.  Their job in life is to give you a little nibble and melt your heart!   But biting into that sweet sugary goodness... well, it was just a bit more euphoria than they are used to. 
While it's true that the average child can handle a DumDum or two without any issue;
Lovebugs, at only 3 inches in height, ... well, 11 grams of sugar goes straight to their little bellies and they get just a little wound up.  

Dizzy from sugar, these little bugs began to shout and bicker at each other and began to 'boink' each other on the noggin... not showing much love at all!




Now you've probably never been told this before and it can't be found in any book, but a LoveBug's Heart is in it's head; that's why their heads are larger than their bodies!  Well, with all that boinking and bonking.. eventually, their hearts swelled so big, it quickly dissolved the remaining traces of sugar and they were able to start loving again.  
That's when the LoveBugs began hatching a NEW plan... Deliver DumDums to Everyone!!
... but now there are more DumDums than there are Lovebugs! 

This is where YOU come in!  Make your own little Army of Lovebugs and spread the DumDums (or other stick'd pop) among the little ones around you this Valentine's Day!

Finish off, leaving sufficient tail remaining to secure Foot to bottom of Body.
