The rare can’tary

Had to have bought that at IKEA.

PLUS he has to build it with his MOUTH!

And the instructions are all in relatively foreign languages!

Some assembly required.

Good luck with that little one.

From ikea?

Batteries not included.

Where’s the little wrench?

He’s be-twigs and between.

If you don’t read/follow the directions exactly, it will look more natural.

Shape it like someone’s flower box and then they’ll understand.

Insert twig A into crook of branch B…

Wouldn’t you know, they didn’t include the allen wrench.

LOLOL — This is very funny!

Reminds me — I had covered parking in Phoenix and always kept the top down on my convertible. I went out after work one Spring afternoon and there was a little birdie just a building away in the curvature of the top. I got in the car and she started yelling/dive bombing me. If I had had 2nd vehicle, I’d’ve just left it there for the duration and let her complete her new home; as it was …. “Nope, sorry sweetie, you have to find somewhere else.”

First, find the little wrench.
