we started trimming the tree today. i love my red glass bulbs. soo pretty. and so far, i have used them every year--even after the year my shall-renameless friend's 18 month old tried to eat one like an apple (she survived with no injuries--just a nice emergency bill--sorry friend).
however, this year due to a few more casualties (of the red bulbs, not children) than on other years, and as to the request of shawn (he kept walking by the tree and knocking them off causing the casualties), i decided to remove the ones we had already put on and put them away for a season (much to my dislike). anna helped me.
we had almost all of them put away when anna found a tear drop ornament that was red and shiny. it was plastic. i told her to put it back on "it is plastic". due to her nature she questioned me, "are you sure?" "yes anna" i replied. well, apparently she doubted me. she proceeded to huck the ornament to the nice hard tile. it bounced a bit. "yep, mom, you are right." i guess it is a good thing i was right. little stinker.

she is brilliant, and i'm ever glad her mother is too. maybe the tear drop ornament is mourning your other red bulbs, i'm sure glad it's plastic. thanks for the shout out. {you know who you are.}
well, when there's only one way to be completely sure that it's plastic.....
