Styrofoam Christmas

Styrofoam + Children = Christmas

Not because they love to play with it or because the sound of it is just as soothing as a round of christmas carols. One large piece of styrofoam left long enough near children becomes tens of thousands of soft white snow pellets. Pellets that don't melt. Pellets that cling to everything with a magnetic attraction. for days I'm sure I will find them stuck to the sides of the tubes in the vacuum. For a few days it will seem just as white and wintery as Christmas.

Seven

While three is a magic number. Seven is almost divine. It rhymes with heaven. It ate nine. Seven wonders of the worlds are often revered for their grandeur and beauty. Seven days of creation. Seven toes on one of my feet. Seven beautiful calluses on my hand after scrubbing the kitchen floor. When you scrub do you use ammonia or bleach? I would suggest not mixing the two. Do you use a premixed solution purchased from some over priced retailer? Do you shop there cause it makes you feel better about yourself. Would you shop somewhere else if you found that the owner of the retail business had politcal views other than yours? I would if I found that they didn't believe in the true nature of Seven.
