So we opened Christmas presents early this year. My sister's a big Trekkie, so I decided to make her a bunch of tribbles. Using patterns I found online, I made eight furry tribbles of different sizes.
Then I had this awesome idea. I stuck one tribble in a shoebox with a tupperware full of rice. I then cut a slice in the container and scattered some rice around.
Then I wrote this letter (click for larger picture):
and stuck it on the top.
Then after she'd opened it up, I waited until she was looking the other way and dropped a second tribble next to the first. Over the next hour I added a tribble or two whenever she was distracted, so that they seemed to multiply! She thought it was great and laughed her head off!
