guinee pigs and garden gnooms

You wonder,

what does a guinee-pig have to do with a garden gnoom ?

Well, than you haven’t met my mom, nephew and sister yet … they have everything to do with it.

When we had the funeral of the guinnee-pig of my nephew ( last Tuesday ) , he decided to burry him next to my old cat Andromeda.
She died several years ago. He loved her and at the time was pretty sad she had died.
As sweet as he is, he let his mom buy a GARDEN GNOOM to put on her grave. The gnoom would keep an eye on her, he claimed.

As much as I love my nephew, that much I hate garden gnooms.

The worst part is … ( and I bet she is smiling reading this ) MY SISTER KNOWS ABOUT THAT !
Do you think she discouraged the kid to give me the gnoom ??? NOOOHOOO. Nooooo … NOT AT ALL.

So, there I was … eventually … stuck with a gnoom . The fortunate thing happened. The gnoom was made of stone and it started freezing that winter and the gnoom died ! Yippeee ! The gnoom broke …

Than the second ‘NICE’ thing happened. My nephew insisted on replacing the gnoom. Not all to happy about it I just let it go, knowing the gnoom would die again next winter. I had good faith !
Bad bad bad bad …. he bought me a PLASTIC GNOOM ! AAAHHH, and the gnoom is still alive up until today.
My nephew always checks the gnoom. When there is to much dirt on it, the gnoom gets a bath from my nephew, when he falls down ( and , yippeee, you can hardly see him than ) … he puts him right up again.

I lost the battle … I lost it.

Than we burry the guinnee-pig and I put the gnoom there to guard the grave for a while, than it happens …

Sister : Ahh, you put Andromeda’s gnoom at Wickie’s grave ?
Nephew : Yep, he is gonna guard it
Me : And do not tell him otherwise … the gnoom is gonna stay there
Sister : Maybe we better buy a second gnoom for Wickie …

THAN I GAVE HER THE EVIL EYE ( which obviously made her laugh …- sigh – )

Than my mom mailed me this morning and she writes :
I think your nephew would love to put a new gnoom on the grave of Wickie, ain’t that sweet ???
( HA-HA, MOM and Sis you are both sooo funny )

SWEEEET ? SWEEEEEETTTTT ???

I mailed back that my sister indeed tried to get him to get a new gnoom too. That they both better NOT go on with this. I don’t want those stupid gnooms and they know that I would never hurt my nephew and tell him about it. That they better not USE my good feelings for the boy !

THAN IT HIT ME ! … I FOUND IT … THE thing I can USE against them !

I told my mom that if they come here with a gnoom … I am gonna buy them a LAAF.

A LAAF is the worst possible GNOOM you can imagine. You can buy them up to a meter tall and they look awfull.

I told my mom they would get one, BOTH of them and that I insist they put it at their balcony ! I will make my nephew check, as he LOVES GNOOMS !
I will buy a plastic one … I will pick the worst one … even if it is the most expensive one. If it means I can’t buy bread for a whole month .. soooo BE IT !

ROFLOL LMAO !

Bring on the GNOOM – WAR
