Oh, they wobble all right – Hive and Nest

I asked for this one year for Christmas. I mean, who could resist that monorail? Or those teacups? But I didn’t get the whole set. I only got the Mickey Mouse Weebles themselves.

Maybe it was out of spite or maybe just curiosity, but I shortly found out what happens when Weebles take a spin in an Easy Bake Oven. They do not turn into a pile of goo, as I had been anticipating. The outsides remain perfect, but the innards–the Wobble faces, as it were–shrivel up into nothingness. Thus leaving me with a collection of egg-shaped ghosts with mouse ears.

And those are no fun to play with at all, even if they don’t fall down.
