Welcome back to Flues mania, the fun-filled Flues challenge for kiddos of all ages.

I hope you are having a marvellous week out there.

Reporting from Flusville,

I can tell you that Martha and Waffle

are currently on a mission

to find a donkey wearing a hat and slippers.

I know because I sent them on this little adventure

so I could get some actual work done around here.

With some luck, they won't return for at least a week.

But what am I talking about?

This is Vocabulator Day

and that means we all get to learn three new words.

Let's get to the action.

I am now pushing the vocabulator button.

And the first word is defend.

Defend, what a marvellous word, but what does defend mean?

It's a brand new word for me, and I've got no idea.

Let's hear the options.

Option number one.

Defend, to take the fun out of something.

Defend.

Well, I have my doubts.
