These are the Skeets. 
Mr. and Mrs. Skeet have three children, Bleachy, Salty, and little Preemie, and they all live together in the building upstairs from the Kiwi brothers just around the corner from Mr. Starfish. It’s a nice place to live, although sometimes Mr. Starfish plays his trombone a bit too loudly.
The Skeets are a happy family. In fact, there's a saying in Dingly Dell: “There’s no such thing as a sad Skeet.” The Skeets keep to themselves. They’re often seen leaving the building, sometimes earlier than their landlord would like. Oddly, however, nobody ever sees them going back in.
Mrs. Skeet is particular about her appearance. She never leaves the building without her pearl necklace, even if she’s just popping out to get cream for Mr. Skeet’s coffee.
Mr. Skeet is quite friendly, but the neighbors don’t like to shake his hand because he has a bad habit of eating vanilla ice cream cones too slowly so his fingers are always sticky.
Bleachy and Salty Skeet are home-schooled. They don’t know any of the other kids in Dingly Dell very well. They just play with themselves and stay home for lunch every day. Mrs. Skeet makes them sandwiches with lots of mayonnaise. At snack time they eat plain yogurt.
Little Preemie is the youngest Skeet. Preemie is still nursing and he can’t walk. But he's a busy little Skeet. His play pen is right next to the front door and all day long Mrs. Skeet has to keep a close watch on him so he doesn’t get out.
That’s all there is to say about the Skeets. If you go to Dingly Dell, bring your gloves. You might meet a Skeet.
