A few weeks ago in the early morning, Hunter (remember Hunter? He’s older now. ) asked if I wanted to see his Cyclex. I had no idea what he was talking about, and expected him to pull a bicycle from his backpack.
It was a flat cloverleaf-type gadget with strange-shaped holes. “Is that a Spirograph?” I asked in astonishment.
It was. A Spirograph with no loose parts. I knew immediately that it must be mine, but stealing from children is frowned upon. So I ordered my own from Amazon.
Fortunately, I did not click the purchase button right away, but waited for its siren song to wane. It did. But then I had to order something else, and it was already in the ‘basket’, only now it was on super-sale! Soooo…… Happy me!
It is very fun. Sometimes it gets stuck when going around, but it’s a small price to pay for it’s awesome gadget-y-ness. Someday, when I am done fiddling with it, I will take it to school.
Someday.
