Have you seen those neat Hallmark butterflies? They come free with Hallmark cards. The first time I saw one was at a friend's birthday party. There was a group card going around the table, and when it came to gift opening, the card was presented to the birthday girl. Having been busy chatting away during dinner, I piped up and said "Oh, I haven't signed that!", so I took the card and opened it to finish it off. Little did I know there'd be a vicious MONSTER clipped between the folds of the card... so as soon as I opened it, I half freaked out as a snarling creature of paper, wire, and a rubber band came flying out and attacked me mercilessly!! Anyway, I immediately struck my knifehand out Karate-style to protect myself from its threating spiral, and all was good. The truth of it was that I noticed how everyone at the table had pent up laughter building up inside of them, and I chose to release that pressure to protect them from any discomfort. Mission accomplished.
