Today after lunch, Emily started cleaning while I started making hummus. Suddenly, a small piece of Styrofoam bounced off my shoulder. I turned to see Emily’s impish grin as she brandished a slab of the lightweight packaging from our new TV. Not to be outdone, I grabbed another slab of Styrofoam and we were off to war! It was an epic battle that left wreckage strewn across our kitchen floor. Who won, you may inquire? Well, that depends on who you ask. What determines the winner? Who has more synthetic white fluff on their person at the end? Who dealt more blows? Who dealt deadlier blows?
In the end, I think the Styrofoam won. Emily and I were left picking up the pieces while the Styrofoam gloated about its evasive techniques. We will be finding little white specks around the house for the next few months. The good news: it fits better in the Gelbe Sacks when crushed and mangled than when it was whole. Perhaps the Styrofoam will be conquered at last… by German recycling and the Vacuum!
Obviously I won…I’m the only in the pictures!
That’s because I was able to fend off your attacks while holding a camera. You did not gain the upper hand despite my camera usage! I think I had better shots with more style. If the styrofoam had been more weighty, I think the head shots I got in would have done some serious damage.
