“It said it came with 10 large stones.”
“They’d better give me a refund.”
“I’ve brushed its fur for 10 minutes.”
“Expectation vs Reality, after a 6-month back order from West Elm”
“Children’s party entertainer (Alice in Wonderland)”
“I just won this clock.”
“Wow. The wall will look nice.”

“I’ve been tricked by the packaging of my moisturizing cream.”
