'Tis the season to exploit my Mom's abject horror of plastic yard flamingos. So far, she's getting -

• Rubber Bath Duck - Flamingo version
• Neon bedside flamingo
• Jammies! Obnoxious print pjs!
• Big metal garden sculpture LOL "Art"

None of it will top the birthday she woke up to 100 birds planted in her front yard, but the cumulative effect is nice.

I anticipate and fear the inevitable reprisal. Pretty sure it will involve smurfs in some way. Hate them.
