What is now living on my desk. . .

I love toys. And Elephants. So it was really no surprise that my last staff gave me a toy elephant as part of my graduation/ going away gift. (Along with some awesome bubbles that I plague unsuspecting staff members with. Hehehehehehehe)

Well I have some sad news. After a few months of hanging out on my desk and being groped by lots of people, little toy elephant has deflated.

 

I know it doesn’t really look like an elephant but it kept students and staff entertained and mesmerized by is squishiness. However to my surprise I wasn’t even the most upset by this apparent death. Oh no my coworker, who likes to visit every day lamented it for at least a week. He kept going on about how I have no toys now. (no one but me gets to play with the bubbles). So I caved and went shopping. And this ladies and gents is what I found.

 

 

 

A crazy haired duck that lights up when thrown. And has that requisite squishiness.

 

 

 

 

 

An owl, because that’s another animal I really like. It waddles, though not well.

 

 

 

 

 

Finger Puppets, I have named them panda and mouse respectively. (I know not very creative.)

 

 

 

 

And finally a creature that resembles a creepy crawly, but one I wouldn’t mind having as a pet. It too fulfills that squishy need people have.

Needless to say I also have a slinky, and a huge clothes pin. Just because. Let’s hope these live longer than my poor elephant.
