I chose socks. Wh...Happiest of birthdays Kristin!<br /><br />I chose socks. Why? Well, because they could: a) give you athletes foot (which is sorta like wish number one without the cool leagues); b) socks could potentially be eaten by a yak - thereby causing a hairball (which may be closer to green then gold); c) you could make your foot and ankle invisible with a sock (not the whole you, but at least part); and d) you could make the sock into a kangaroo puppet and it would obey your every command! <br /><br />I can't think of how the sock would teach you Finnish or grant you wishes, but there are LOTS of creative people here...maybe they have a suggestion.<br /><br />:-DAndrewsMommomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13313518532137535509noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4228273369846378320.post-13111619944476778362009-08-10T19:04:40.727-04:002009-08-10T19:04:40.727-04:00Happy Birthday!!
