Here’s how bad I am. I was riding in the backseat and gave
my niece and her boyfriend driving directions that would “accidentally” take us
by the Christmas Factory not far from where I live. They had some penguin
ornaments, but this is the only one I could find that I didn’t already own. It
was in a basket with a bunch of other broken up ornaments, two of
which (a chef and a hot chocolate drinker) I had bought three years ago,
also at the Christmas Factory. I dug through the basket looking for an ornament
that wasn’t broken, but this was the only one on candy cane skates holding a
couple of candy cane sticks, obviously broken. At the bottom of the basket I found
a bunch of broken off penguin feet and other pieces, including one piece that
looked like a pinwheel. I decided to buy the broken ornament and the loose
piece and glue them together when I got home. I thought it would fit better
than, but as I’m writing this post, I’m realizing that I glued it on the wrong
end. It’s supposed to be a ski pole, not a pinwheel. It’s too late for me to
fix it now, but I’ll get to it later and post an update.
