Wrap themselves around a table leg and flex
Standing around eating little round crackers smeared with whipped cheese and fish eggs didn't do much for my mood either. My mother was acting like an entire swarm of busy bees. She was everywhere. In the kitchen, out of the kitchen. Serving drinks, handing out napkins. Explaining the food, but not eating a thing.
Lynetta didn't buy Mom's explanation on the hors d'oeuvres — she wound up dissecting hers, categorizing the parts into gross, disgusting, and revolting.
Hanging near her didn't stop the Baker boys from shoving crackers in whole, though. Man, I was just waiting for them to wrap themselves around a table leg and flex.
what's the meaning of the underlined?

wrap themselves around a table leg and flex -- The meaning is murky, but I suppose the reference is to an animal of some sort - perhaps a snake, which swallows its food whole, without chewing.
