Clothes Gnomes

The other morning I realized Light had scattered his clothes all over his room and even had trail to the hallway. I asked him to pick them up and make a pile; this was met with much resistance. Instantly my mouth open and I was pleasantly surprised by what came out. As my mouth has opened of its own accord before without pleasant results I was extremely happy with myself. I told him about clothes gnomes. They hide under discarded clothes and that if he picked them up he might find one. Of course I had to detour the urge to simply throw cloth up and about. He searched and picked up. Unfortunately it turns out there was none to be found.  I told him to try tomorrow because he hadn't picked up everything and we were leaving.

That night I made him a gnome, two in fact. A couple. Easily painted to torso and used hot glue on the hat, trimmed off the extra.

I think they’re sweet

Then I hid her under a discarded shirt, I choose one that was behind the door because I knew it would be last. Sure enough he totally overlooked it.

When he did find it he was all smiles. To my delight he even played with her. She rode cars and motorcycles all day and even got to ‘live’ in one of his buildings.

To add to it I told him if he keeps his cloth picked up they will just appear on his dresser, in an effort to keep it tidy. Also, that the same ones may be prone to hide again, so I don’t have to make them all the time.
