the entire metropolis of candyland was wiped out today in one swipe from a massive paw belonging to a force greater than anyone could control, baby action jackson. one plastic gingerbread guy was seen slipping out just in time via gumdrop pass.
Your photo gave me a not so pleasant flashback to a time when I was probably about 10. I came home from school one day to find every board game I owned (which was a pretty impressive collection) dismantled and dumped out on the floor of my bedroom. The culprits: Mandy and Katrina; the daughters of one of my mom’s friends who was over visiting. They were standing there in the midst of it, and when I walked in simply said “Hi Dommy!” as if I would be pleased as punch to find them there, standing in the debris that had recently been my precious board game collection. (I was not pleased at all.)
We always had dog bomb problems with games played on the floor.
PS: as a retired optician it was the name of your blog that hooked me! Where did I put those darn reading glasses?
