helped my daughter
to pull a dollhouse kit down from the store shelf above
quite surprised to find
how heavy it actually was
just before it crowned me
more surprised than anything
all was well
but as we picked it up
with an alarmed store employee
i happened to notice
a little sticker on the underside that said
‘heavy’
too little, too late. too heavy.

yes, it was a bit unexpected, like when you think you’re biting into a chocolate chip cookie only to discover raisins instead )

Oh no! Never a good moment when a sweet chocolate treat ends up being a healthier option :)

I’m glad you’re okay. What a ridiculous thing to do…put it so high, when it’s so heavy. The thing about getting a raisin, instead of a chocolate chip is scary.

I’m glad you’re okay, Beth. I’m glad you were a doll and didn’t lose your head when the house came crashing down. That would have been a high price to pay.
