As I showered with my sliver of soap this morning, I thought about that little catalog which always excited me with its promises of making life more convenient. One of the things I always thought was a good idea was this doo-hickey which housed all of your slivers of soap, smashing them into one bar.
Oh, the thrill of imagining how you could use these quirky inventions in your life! The little plastic “diapers” for bowls. (That’s what they reminded me of, those plastic pants you used to pull over cloth diapers!) And then they had fun stuff, like decorations for your house or bunion cures or holiday tableware. I loved that little catalog which occasionally graced my parent’s mailbox.
I made it through the cleansing experience with my sliver slimmer and some happy thoughts to ignite the day.
