Zeb and Zane's Music Box

Zeb and Zane and porcelain music boxes do not coexist without someone getting decapitated. This music box has been with us since the beginning of Zeb's and Zane's time here on this earth (yes it is still with us as I think it is still a vital part of putting the little people to bed, even though it has probably never lulled the boys and it makes not a bit of difference in whether they fall asleep at a reasonable hour or not). I will forever think that it should be twisted on for bedtime, so until Jamie decides enough of the annoying repetitive tune and throws it away it will be with us. The music box started its journey in one piece- it was lovely and plays a sweet tune. Its first encounter ended with a toe and a bird's wing missing, the next was a slightly more fatal mishap with one of the angels being decapitated. The third accident is a mystery and resulted in a very wobbly base, another decapitated angel and a completely broken drum. Zeb and Zane thought this somewhat sad and somewhat funny. The music box played on with its wobbly self and even though it was not as aesthetically pleasing it still had its place in our bedtime routine. The fourth and final straw occurred on dad's watch (maybe he did it, I'll never know). It resulted in a completely broken porcelain upper and the only thing that remained was the sweet little tune. So even though the tune probably annoys even the little people the music plays on!
