Suckling from a lion’s teat……
Yesterday, my daughter brought me two inflatable animals that we had purchased from Oriental Trading for a baby shower. Lounging on the couch, I began to blow them up. I quickly discovered that what I was doing must have looked obscene. The valve was located on the underside of the animal, and there I was, completely reclined, inflating this lion as if suckling from its teat (or worse). Do manufacturers think when producing these things OR do they do stuff like this on purpose for a little chuckle? To turn me from a light shade of pink to a laughing mess, the more I blew, the taller the tail got, until it was finally standing straight up.
That is one big smile….. I think my husband might have been jealous…..

I’m not jealous. I’m not that insecure. I also have no idea how that lion ended up going through the paper shredder … or where all the rubber gloves went. It must have been the kids.

I am totally convinced that the manufacturers do this on purpose! I would have cracked up too!
