Every once in a while a quack emanates from my pocket and I smile. I keep a little yellow duck in my pocket that quacks as well as lights. And sometimes it goes off accidentally.
It is a little toy and sometimes I bring it out and act silly with it. I do not care. People take themselves too seriously. And when it goes off in my pocket I laugh and when my wife hears it she laughs also.
My wife gave it to me when I had lost a small piggy toy that oinked. We were traveling and we met a foreigner who gave it to me for a gift. I treasured the pig key chain but I lost it.
I also have a lighter I keep in my pocket that flashes multicolors. It does not always work as a lighter but I love showing it to people for it catches their attention.
It just lightens up my mood. I can take myself, sometimes, too seriously. Sometimes I act as if the whole world is on my shoulders. The world does not really revolve around me. And my little toys help break my somber moods.
