Is that [plastic] fig vegan?


When the urge to freshen up our spare bathroom came over me a few months ago, the decorating theme ended up being "figs".  This wasn't a huge job as it only involved a coat of fresh paint, new towels, and a few new accessories. I've always loved figs (fig jam being  my absolute favorite), and since we have several trees in our garden, the whole fig thing seemed like a good fit.
However, it wasn't a couple of days since the paint had dried that I noticed that the two fake figs I'd carefully positioned in a basket around the sink had been sampled. Seeing the obvious tooth marks in the figs didn't exactly come as a surprise.  It took me two seconds to figure out that bimba  was the culprit, but I've got to wonder, when she bit into the first fig and realized it was plastic, what exactly was her logic for biting into the second one?

LOL!! This is TOO funny!!

Happy New Year to you! I'd hoped to catch up on some emails to you while you were away, but obviously my good intentions ended up just being new bricks in the road to hell. ;-) It's been hectic - haven't even taken my decorations down yet, and won't till tomorrow. Too much gets crammed into the small space between Thanksgiving and today, and then it's just a boring stretch of nothingness for months! Who planned this?!

I hope you had a wonderful time in Italy and can't wait to hear about it!

I love the fig theme for your bathroom, by the way - despite the mishap with the fig decoys. LOL - still laughing over it, especially since she bit into the second one! (Hope springs eternal!) :-)

Love and very best wishes to you for a wonderful New Year!

Hahahahahaha! That is so funny! Your daughter sounds like a little handful :)

I've also never ever had figs. I want to try them so bad!
