We are also known as "flatties"
I was hiding the crown of a pineapple
And wouldn't come out, which drove Dee batty!
(They are called "flatties" because they can fit in very tight places, including the base of the pineapple crown. It took me about 10 minutes after I picked the pineapple to coax her safely off the pineapple and onto another plant where she would be much happier than in my kitchen.)
