She's a machine. The volume of craft this girl produces...mindblowing. And then the dilemma - what to do with it all? Surely I am not expected to keep every creation? We would have a veritable cardboard fire hazard. So, I am to share them with you all dear blog readers. This week's output includes...
The Tickler.
She mass produced these! One for everyone. "How does it work Darc?" "Well Mummy, you slip it over your wrist, with the feather pointing out. Then you sneak up on people, very quietly, then you get them behind the neck or wherever they are ticklish, and you go TICKLE, TICKLE TICKLE!!!"
Well on Friday night, after a few post rugby training wines with the Hickey's, we were all using our Ticklers! They work! Everyone laughed. Perhaps a new section in the Etsy store?
Next, I present to you,the Time Machine.
Now where on earth did she come up wtih this concept - we don't watch Dr Who. Anyhoo, a time machine is what she made at kindy. "So Darc, how does it work?" "Well, Daddy, you just hold onto these handles, and you press this button and you then close your eyes and think of a time you want to go to and the machine will take you there." So Daddy requested that he go to a time in the future, about 20 years, when he is old and feeble and Darcy has to make him cups of tea and look after him. Well, did she get upset. Truly! Yelling at Dad, "Well it only works to take you to backwards time". "But Darcy, I see in the future you looking after me when I am old." "Well that doesn't happen Dad - I'm not going to." Honestly - she was close to tears at the thought of what her future may hold - wiping up Daddy's dribbles, etc is not what Darcy wants to do - apparently! Good that we know this now! She was well cranky about the whole thing. Took her time machine and marched off. I keep telling you, this kid has attitude in buckets!
And finally, we have The Shopping Machine
And yes, it does have a bit of Madonna conical chest action going on. Not sure why. Anyway, this machine has been well used and the mobile phone that was inside is missing. This is how it works... "Well you just take it to the shops with you mum and it will help you shop. (Didn't think I needed help - but wait for it...) The phone mummy is for ringing Dad if you run out of money. So he can send the machine more money for you to spend."
You have to like the way my 4 year old thinks!
So, we are gladly taking orders for Ticklers, Time Machines and Shopping Machines. Just ring my Shopping Machine mobile phone for your orders!
