The adventures of Salem, Kiwi-chan and Joop Destroyer of Worlds #3: of boxes and flamingos
A little while ago Bert bought me a skirt on the Top Vintage website.
Said skirt came in a box, and in that box was pretty purple paper and a flamingo keychain. Essentially a puff of fake fur with a fake leather head and dangly legs. I'm not a flamingo kind of person, but both one of my neighbours and one of my friends is, so whilst I was debating who to give this to, to make sure it would go to someone that would fully appreciate it, Kiwi came up to me, begging for the flamingo. Obviously, this left me with no choice but to take the hardware off (that I did save!) and give it to her.
This was, of course, not taking Salem and Joop into account.
And madness followed.
Salem was the first to run off with the flamingo the second Kiwi wasn't paying attention.
He was very fond of the crinkly purple paper in the box as well.
Luckily the boys can share fairly well.
Joop was, of course, the one to claim the box, and the toy, for he deems all Top Vintage extras to be his.
As you can see from the photo at the beginning of this post, which is a little bit older, he has quite the habit of claiming Top Vintage boxes :).
Alas!
The poor boys were out of luck!
Kiwi had her revenge, and a few mornings later I woke up to this.
She's not sorry, not at all!
The damage is actually bigger than you can see, because she's actually sitting on top of another hole and she had managed to loosen one of the sides, to make sure Joop nor Salem had no way to comfortably lounge in it anymore.
The lesson to be learned for the boys?
Kiwi-chan always wins in the end :D.
Yesterday I placed another order on Top Vintage.
The boys are eagerly awaiting it's arrival, hoping for a bigger, sturdier, more Kiwi-proof box, more crinkly paper, and especially: another flamingo :).
