It's the Best Possible World. Proof: rocking chair

Here I thought going all “Witness Relocation Program” and moving to a new house would get me out of the White Elephant junk stream, but nooooo…

I mean: I was afraid something awful that moving would kick me out of the White Elephant herd. That and not playing along with the latest round. But I should know better. There’s a reason rocking chair’s (the Patron Saint of all things Albino Pachydermy) Indian name is “Kindness With Nice Shoes”. (Sometimes Indian names can be way too inscrutable.)

You know, just the other day I was saying: “Man! I could really use some girly pink stationery with flowers on it!”. Although if you weren’t listening closely enough it sounded more like: “Winning the lottery would be good.” You know what came in the mail today? A winning lottery ticket! Only it looked just like girly pink stationery with flowers on it. What more could I ask for? Especially since this package was a complete surprise. Nothing! I could ask for nothing more! And yet there was more stuff in there because rock is a giving person that way.

If I told you I have a shiny new lanyard, would you be jealous? Of course you would. This would cause you no end of grief. So, following the Teachings of st. chair, I won’t tell you about the lanyard. Or the Hello Kitty washcloth.

Thanks rocking chair! Yer the Best!

Love and mushy stuff,
-Rue.

Ixnay on the Hello Kitty stuff, there. You don’t want to send Shirley Ujest into a tizzy, now, do you?

Ok.
I thought you were being overly exuberant about actual rocking chairs. :smack:
Wee!

Well, that’s nice!
You got a package of happy in the mail. :smiley:

So I’m supposed to pass the Hello Kitty washcloth (and eraser that I didn’t tell you about) on to Shirley? Check!

Got her address?

i tried to have a little something for the entire deday family. i figured that the wee dedays would erase dirt and mistakes with the hello kitty items.

i couldn’t leave you out of the elephun, rue. i reckoned that since y’all moved recently, you purged a bit before packing and therefore might be lacking in “stuff too good to throw out.”

you should have heard the “i’m being sneaking” elephant trumpeting whist the box was assembled. you can run… you can move… but the white elephant will find you!!!
