Happy Happy Meal Toys

I have six toys on my desk from the children’s meals at fast food restaurants. 

My favorite is a green dragon. He has a button on his back that when pushed causes him to flap his wings and open his mouth.  I feed him M&Ms, but only the green ones. 

I also have a purple and white alien type creature. He has a button on his front. When you press it he says, “Bom Bom Bump a Bump, Bom Bom Bump a Bump.” For those of you in mortgage lending, you know that is what a loan officer sounds like when you ask him a question about one of his loans. He has three legs and a deely bopper on his head. 

There is also a white, big blue-eyed sheep.  She is frolicking amongst some paper flowers – she doesn’t do anything, but I like her anyway. She reminds me of a lot of people I know. 

The fuzzy white polar bear doesn’t do anything either, but appears all snuggly and soft. 

The last two are a super hero with an “M” on his chest – his hands are clenched into fists which seems rather aggressive, but I know the feeling during our endless big company training this week, and the last is a deer (I think) sitting in a pink purse and her head bobbles, sort of like my own at the end of the day of training. 

Do you need to know what’s on my desk? Certainly not.  Why am I telling you this? I’m glad you asked.  This blog is for the people who called or texted me the other day to say:

“Where the hell have you been?? We thought you were dead.”

“Is Amylynn in a coma?”

“Did Amylynn sell her children?”

“Did Amylynn/Kelli threaten to revoke your Quill Sister membership?” (Not true, I swear.)

And my favorite “You’re really funny, but who would remember that? It’s been what, ten years since you wrote anything?”

Don’t make me write a blog about what I keep in desk drawer – keep your funny comments to yourself this time!
