The MDDs are back

MDD? Huh?

Mom Detection Device. It looks and sounds like a jingly bracelet and serves to alert an unsuspecting teenager (or sometimes VERY suspecting teenager!) to the imminent arrival or whereabouts of said Mom. The light jingling sounds -- a gentle clinky-clanky-swishy-wishy jingle -- are well below the obnoxious realm but just enough to perk up teenager ears and let him know Mom is on the move.  

Most mornings I slip on an MDD after attaching matching earrings to the lobes. This habit is usually employed in the warmer months because never ever ever would an MDD compliment a sweater. Ick. The sweater would be pilled in a heartbeat. So instead of killing sweaters, I rely on the MDD in the summer to perk up the wardrobe and provide an inherent jingly soundtrack to life.

Most unfortunately for the Turkey one of my MDDs is currently on the fritz. It has lost most of its jingliness due to excessive use love. I guess the beads just got tired of being tossed around like dice and decided to amscray. It was a silver bracelet with all sorts of jingly goodness dripping off of it. Drip indeed! Anyway, I've been looking for a replacement and found this lovely thing on etsy: 

Oh, WOW! What a conversation piece! Conversation meets jingles. Nice.

My birthday is coming up...

Just sayin'.

The amazon list has been updated...

Again, just sayin'.
