Br-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-ring!
So, as I mentioned previously, I have handcuffs for my cell phone. They arrived via the mail today, and I picked them up from the father's house on my way home from work. Dad literally called me as I was getting onto the freeway to head to work to tell me the package had arrived. Hooray for bluetooth headsets, which allowed me to pick up the phone safely while driving. :)
At any rate, when I opened them, my niece was fascinated by them. I will have to get that girl some toy handcuffs. My mother is threatening bodily harm or death if I do so while she's so young though. She says I need to wait 'til my niece is 12 years old. That's almost a decade from now! Also, I doubt my brother's friends will wait so long, and gorram it, what's wrong with the world if an Auntie can't spoil and corrupt her niece who's already sharp as a tack and innocent looking enough to get away with raising hell? I think I will have to find good toy handcuffs for my niece for Christmas. I'll just have to risk the bodily harm.
I promised teferi I'd post pictures so he could see these little Japanese metal danglie bits that make me so happy. So here are pictures: cuffs & phone and close up on the cuffs. I'm too gorram lazy to resize the pictures so I can post 'em here, sorry.
