A few weeks ago we Snail ladies did some summer shopping.  While I was at the checkout making a purchase, my daughter's were wandering about the store.  When I was finished at the checkout my  older daughter began to rush me out the door.  I figured she was bored with my store and wanted to move on to one of her choice.  When we stopped a couple shops down to browse jewelry she told me she had accidentally broken off a mannequin hand in the store we just left.  I asked her what she had done with the hand and she said she had set it on top of the other hand, hoping no one would notice.  

I spent a number of years working in retail and knew that it probably wasn't broken.  I also remembered that I had my camera along and, much to her embarrassment, I went back to the previous shop to take a look.  This is the sight that greeted me.  As you can see, our lovely mannequin friend is sporting two hands on one side.  I realized right away that the hand wasn't really broken and showed my daughter how the hand fits into the wrist and twists back together.  But not before getting a couple shots of her 'handy work'.  

A couple of quick pictures (and a lot of laughter) and we were on our way, but not before a salesperson noticed.  Thankfully the store personnel were good natured!
