I wasn't raised that way

It's a seam ripper

Sewing

I'm happy to report that I sewed 90% of Elisabeth's costume.  The bottom needs to be hemmed.  Hemming seems long and tedious so my mom is going to do it while she's here visiting.  She's also going to add a fancy thing called rick rack to the bottom.  {my idea}

While sewing Elisabeth's costume {which will be revealed soon} I made a lot of mistakes.  I mean a lot.  I'm pretty sure the ripper outer thing saw just as much action if not more then the sewing machine.  Which brings me to my story/conversation shared with The Mister.  {I got a box of sewing accessories in addition to the sewing machine for Christmas}

Me - Did this box come with a ripper outer?

The Mister - You mean a seam ripper?

Me - No a ripper outer but I guess you could call it that too

The Mister - No it's really called a seam ripper by the normal part of the world

Me - I wasn't raised that way

 No Elisabeth isn't being a clown.  I'm not being a clown either.  To be perfectly honest clowns freak me out with their painted on smiles and tiny cars.
