my legless, blind gingerbread man

yesterday, paul brought some gingerbreads from the opfikon office. everybody from the opfikon office got one. since we're in altstetten, paul brought some for us. i'm not sure if this has something to do with the feast of st. nicholas. i was hesitant to take one because i know it will go to waste. it was almost a foot long. i could never consume that much bread! he insisted.

here is my gingerbread man, i'll call him alfie. he lies on this neat christmasy napkin on my table. all prepped, hands on his waist. :) head high, all shiny and proud.


time check: 11:00am. alfie is legless. huhuhu. i had to take a bite. i'm starving and lunch seemed a lifetime away. forgive me, alfie. my legless alfie. yet you stand so tall! that's the spirit, alfie!


alfie was born blind - no right eye. poor alfie. and his mouth is like a chick's beak. he has all the imperfections in the world but he will always be my alfie.


time check: 5:30pm. alfie is still in the same state - legless and blind. i asked scott to take him home. he said he could take him home to felicidad. i couldn't just throw him! i wrapped him delicately and put him in a bag. "take him." i sadly said. and he did.

wow. reyna ng drama. harhar.
