Keep it secret.

March 2, 2009

Keep it safe.

Jingle jangle.

Remember the purse fiasco a while back? Well, it was the perfect opportunity for me to justify a gadget purchase. I saw the Cash Can a few months ago, and now I have one! Yessir, even though I may forget my wallet, I’ll still have an origamied greenback dangling from my keys.

Money?
Oh.
There it is.

This guarantees that I will lose my keys.

I say “Keep it secret. Keep it safe.” in class all the time. This year, kids don’t get it.

    It’s a quote from “The Lord of the Rings”. I tried to find a clip of the quote online, but I couldn’t. I’m sure you’re disappointed. 🙂

  Don’t you get complaints from parents giving that advice?

It looks like a mini martini shaker to me. Where do you keep the mini olives?

I want one of those. (Fighting the envy…)

    Lovely explanation. Where did you get the cool necklace?

      It was my grandma’s. Do you like the cupcake sticker? It’s from Owen.

What is the rectangle keychain? It looks like it might have a micro chip in it. Is it a homing device? Does it give you access to places that no one knows about? Are you a secret agent?

  Plus, I don’t think that is a cash can at all.

    That, my friend, is a tiny flashlight. I’ve done some serious searching for the smallest flashlight you can have. This one is longer than some, but it’s flatness gained it the winning spot. (The clippers are also baby fingernail clippers. Same clipping action, smaller footprint.)
    
    What would you call a cash can?

It seems that keys and all those other things would be needless 21st century junk to the wife of iLloyd.

  Just a super-sleek flashlight -- nothing major. 🙂
