Play a guessing game with me!

Last year, I gave my youngest daughter a personalized Advent calendar for her November 25th birthday. Susanna loves to unwrap presents and I knew she would enjoy having a gift to open on each day of Advent. The calendar was full of fun, interesting and useful items. There was one present, though, that we couldn’t identify. This was really the best gift at all because it quickly turned into a mystery object guessing game.

A friend found out the answer but we extended the fun.

Susanna suggested that I take the item to my local writers’ group and use it for an activity. I passed it around and asked everyone to write down what they thought it was and why. They came up with many novel suggestions. One or two gave an answer which was pretty close to the correct one. Many of the incorrect answers, though, were imaginative possibilities.

It all depends on the way you look at something.

Now, play the guessing game with me! As a member of our group described it, this object is “orange, made of hard silicon, holey, garlic-shaped, knobby, and has a hanging hook at the back.” It is also flexible and can be bent in half. Send me your guesses on my blog site, Facebook, in an e-mail, or in whatever way is convenient. I will compile all the answers, make a list of them on my next post and identify the object. Writers’ group members and others who know what the object is can still play, using your variety of responses!

I look forward to your answers!
