Oh, I love it! Especially the Del Floria grandchildren.
I really like your take on the prompt word -- and I'm certainly not about to complain about the length! Seriously, IMHO, the key challenge of drabbling is making every word count, and undertaking the discipline of matching the exact word count. If the idea is 200 words long, or 400, the discipline still applies and the exercise is just as valid. "Boy Scout" came out as a drabble and a half, because 200 words would have been oversized; but I still had to adhere to an exact manual count.

And I like that you used Mr. Del Floria in this fashion. It's not often we even see him in a fic, much less learn anything about him. Good move!

Again, great work!
