Some Holiday Observations

[Mango]

While I was looking through the newspaper inserts looking for some funn goof gifts, stocking stuffers, I ran across this toy for girls called
Polly Pocket Race to the Mall Playset. At first I giggled thinking of several adult woman I could give this to. , but then as I started thinking about it, I wondered what the hail were people thinking when they made this toy and what parents might be encouraging.

My next observation were bathrobes with hoods. Someone please explain why one needs a hood inside in the house? If your hair is wet, wouldn't you use a towel and not walk around with a moist hoody attached to your neck? or did someone find out there are many sleepwalkers who may need a hoody if they get lost at night?

Silly gull, you need a hoody on your bathrobe so your hair doesn't get wet(ter) when you go outside in the morning in the rain/snow to get the newspaper.

I'd be soaked. My mailbox is far from my door. Besides, no one wants to see me looking like a wet cannoli.

He certainly does. I was talking about his bathrobe!

I have this great photo of Merman from several years back when we were all in New Hampshire with my parents. He's standing in the driveway in a foot of newly fallen snow, paper in hand, in his red bathrobe that I got him from Talbotts. For years he wore that bathrobe not knowing I bought it from a ladies' clothing store. Heck, it fit him better than any lady and it wore like iron. I didn't tell him until after he wore it out that he was cross-dressing.

I'm bad, Miss Kitty. I was timing you, to see how many minutes would elapse before you found my post.
