When you are surrounded by clowns, it takes quite the effort to keep a straight face. Frankie, however, seems to be quite capable of handling the biggest clown in The Herd.
Are you calling me a clown?
Why, yes, Typhoon, we do think you are the biggest clown in The Herd. And, let’s face it, you love that role.
Come on, Big Brother, bet you can’t resist this.
Wow, you didn’t flinch.
Typhoon, Frankie might just be the master of the straight face. Do you think you can break him?
Oh, come on. You know I can make anyone laugh.
Ok, let’s see you go for the big guns. But, somehow, we think Frankie might just be wise to your games and can wait you out.
Typhoon pulls out the “prance like a horse” move.
Frankie is the stoic wonder.
Frankie is a hard case, Typhoon, and it doesn’t look like you are going to win this round.
Despite all of the effort, Frankie just never budged. Maybe Typhoon is losing his touch. Or, more likely, Frankie has seen it all from his little brother.
Have no fear. I am already plotting the bigger and better game.

While we may not be siblings since we don’t share parents, we certainly claim each other as our brothers and sisters.
Visit Millerton, a fictional small town near Asheville NC, via D.K. Wall's novels. Ordinary people. Extraordinary events.
Mom sez: I ABSOLUTELY have to give Frankie “top marks” for not even batting an eye (never mind a paw) at Typhoon’s antics. Now THAT’S stoicism at its best!
I’m surprised he didn’t just escalate the game – a butt check to Frankie’s head, perhaps.
It will be interesting to see how he matures.
Hu-Dad says that the right statement is, “It will be interesting to see IF he matures.”
Sibes have more fun than people!
