A few weeks ago we had our buddies Cruz and Jackson over for a fightdate. As they were readying the foam arsenal I called out, “No shooting until you get yourselves over to the eye protection drawer!” And Jackson asks in all sincerity, “What’s an eye protection drawer?” Right before he lost his eye…
I’m kidding.
According to WebMD, I’m currently suffering from what is known as a cuteness deficiency. That sounded better before I wrote it. But, seriously. I don’t get to pick out anything cute these days. No cute little clothes or shoes or Easter caps. And then I was at Michael’s and I noticed I’d never be buying the darling little pony cupcake toppers or sparkly cake glitter. Instead I bought certain sprinkles for their miniature orange paintball qualities.
One of my last remaining vestiges of cuteness seems to be birthday party favors. Full creative license. So I end up on Etsy and find the cutesy fix to scratch my itch. Personalized fabric favor bags filled with gum ball tubes that look like paintballs, and a clear homemade bar of Nerf dart soap. And of course: eye protection.
I mean kids with eyes are cute, am I right?
