action figures Edith Vonnegut

 

Look at this mess. You cherubs and your abandoned toys.  Good folk enter the Elysian Field only to find the Stairway to Heaven littered with plastic frogs and action men.

Dying once is bad enough, but tripping on the steps and dying again’s not on.

Get this place cleared up before the Boss sees it.

 

By the way, the painting is Action Figures by Edith Vonnegut.

    I’m babysitting the grandkids, 2 and 5. The place is covered with legos. Like a minefield. Cute story!

    Lego…hurts like Hell when you step on it and land in the fires with some of the language used.

    It ain’t real till you step on a lego piece in the middle of the night. Barefoot. 😉
