Flying turtles

A guest post from DeepSpice who overheard this on the way to school/creche today...
BallFiend: The mosquito flew out [of the car]!
Thumper: Mosquitoes don't have wings!
BallFiend: Yes they do - tiny ones.
Thumper: Not big wings like turtles! 
Postscript:
Tonight, I was reliably informed by Thumper that turtles have "flappers". When I corrected her and suggested "flippers" might be what she meant, she asserted that "no, they have flappers!" Apparently, after the above conversation on the way to school, BallFiend explained some turtle-anatomy to Thumper. She then told me that penguins have flappers too.

So now you know.
