Whimsical feet

These feet make me grin. I like to think I'm a fun kind of guy. Elenka alluded to it in a comment yesterday. Each time I visit my dentist for a cleaning, I like to pick up a few odds and ends. You see my hygienist has a box of toys she generously offers the children, if they survive her 'cleaning'. I always take a look and pull out something to show off at home. If I had a dollar for every plastic dinosaur, rubber truck, friendship bracelet, parachute guy, racecar keychain, a tiny kaleidoscope, a miniature whistle, a squishy ball, rubber frog, a toy slingshot, a magnifying glass, a dragon finger puppet, a plastic camera, a compass, a small motorcycle, a spinning top, and a couple of those toys where you try to maneuver the little ball bearings into the eye spaces of a clown, I might be drinking free coffee till June. Last trip I brought home some sort of twistable super hero. I think they are very cool.! My hygienist, I must say, seems to get a kick out of seeing what prizes I choose to tuck in my pocket.
Elenka is not so impressed!
In her mind just another piece of crap for one of my many junk drawers that I refuse to clean.
Lots of things make me smile throughout my day.
These whimsical shoes do.
And a new tiny race car spinning, mightily off the kitchen table headed for a life of doom does.
Fun, fun, fun!

ps. Yes, I checked last night, and I still have all of these dental trinkets and much MORE.

  4. It's a wonder Elenka hasn't made the "dental trinkets" disappear. :-)

  7. Reminds me that I need a new pair of slippers. I'm going to the dentist today, but I think I'll pass on the toys and trinkets.

  12. My kids always like that super stretchy sticky things that you could sling up to the ceiling.....and then they would get stuck....leaving a blue spot. Nice.
