it was because Figgie had too many ceramical defects
and was a potential threat for lead poisoning
and was too Christmasy for all year-long usage.
so he couldn't be bought and filled with drinkable liquids.

and for the first time in 9 years(not really even exaggerating),
Ellen didn't spill any food on herself!

I dreampt of an unusually warm and cozy slumber.
when consciousness hit in the morning,
the dream lingered into reality !
