Gift of Ponies

Child, I’m going to give you these ponies, but I’m also going to give you a box to put them in, do you see? And I want you to keep these ponies and all their possessions shut up in this box when you’re not using them, alright? All the plastic saddles and the jump standards and the pretend cowboy hats for the bow legged riders need to stay right in this box unless you are playing with them, okay? Because I don’t want to be finding one red sweat sheet under the sofa, velcroed to a blue leg wrap.
