There are only two lasting bequests we can hope to give our children, one is roots; the other, wings.

Oh Googly Eye, I Love You So!
This is the infamous "googly eye," at least that's what I call it. I have no idea where this treasure originates from, but it found its way into my husband's possession long before I met him. He saw great value in this car antenna topper, and has kept it around...much to my chagrin. I have repeatedly tried to "dispose" of this thing, but it has always somehow found its way back onto my antenna! Trying to destroy the googly eye has become my main objective, and trying to salvage the googly eye and sneak it back onto the antenna has become Aaron's!
I will remove the eye from the antenna and hide it somewhere, thinking Aaron will never find it. Then Aaron will somehow track it down and put it on the car in secret. I'll be driving around one day and finally notice the eye staring down at me through the windshield! I'll whisper obscenities under my breath and vow to burn the googly eye in a dumpster at midnight the next time...only I can never quite bring myself to do it! I know that my inability to truly destroy the eye is the cause for its frequent reappearance, but I guess I've come to love him...albeit begrudgingly.
I really love this little game Aaron and I have going, too. No matter how "annoyed" I am when I see that the eye has reappeared, I always feel a little bit happy as well. That ugly little guy means that my handsome guy was thinking of me...and wanted to make me smile!
