My Rubber Chicken

I remember when I got her.  It was August 2006 and we were in Memphis, TN.  I purchased her with tickets I won playing skeeball in an arcade.  Just over two inches long from beak to talon, she sat in a special place by my phone where I could pick her up and play with her while talking.  In time her neck broke and hung by a thread.  The final straw was when her "egg" broke.  I had to throw her away.

My younger daughter sent me a text earlier this week while on a day trip with her boyfriend.  She told me she'd gotten me a surprise.  Yesterday she came to visit and brought it with her.  A new chicken!!!  This one is huge in comparison to my original (more than seven inches long), but just as entertaining. 





Here you can see her "egg" peeking out.



You have to be careful not to pop the egg out while squeezing!
See the yolk?




"Ack!  Let go of my neck!"



Chilling in the chair.



There now.  You've either been entertained or grossed out.  At the very least, you're now convinced that I'm a little "touched".
