I'm doing 24 things
Phooey. I’ll have to focus on some nice iron-rich foods for a while and try again.
And why does the finger poking part have to be worse than the needle in the arm? Ouch. Hee!

In fact, I had to help my nephews make some, too, after they saw mine. At least I have one to play with until I knuckle down and construct a more "authentic" one. Read how I did it…
