Pop Shield

“I really miss Wobegons Wand” I announce at the brunch table one Sunday.

“What’s Wobegons Wand?” says Mini Pop.

“Wobegon’s Wand was a high quality fish slice regifted to me one mornign by the late, great Jerry Wobegon. We used to use it for making pancakes” I reply. “It was far superior to this metal one for using on a non-stick pan because it was silicone covered. And it had a tapered end. Flipping marvellous. But now it is no more.”

“Where is it now?” asks Mini Pop. “Did you get rid of it? “

“We had to let it go.” I reply. “It fell apart through overuse and went off to rest in the same place that dear Jerry did.”

“What?” Says Mini Pop. “The dump?!”
