The Beleaguered Minnie Ornament


Gary’s Hallmark Minnie ornament arrived with her right arm broken off like the Venus De Milo.

I glued it back on. Easy. Fixed. Then I dropped her on the way to the tree. Here she is on the right.

Her replacement is on the left, recuperating after a procedure to re-affix her left arm that was also broken in transit. These Minnies don’t travel well.

Gary asked that we smash up both and make a Hindu Minnie multi-armed goddess, but that was beyond me. Instead I just glued Broken Minnie’s head back on backwards with her nose tucked between the presents.

  1. That’s a surprisingly large amount of breakage!
    (none of the arms are in really good multi-arm-pose places, anyway)

  2. KC – when she leapt out of my hand I felt that was a suicidal move on her part, or at least a cry for help.
