Sending house pixies your way, when I find them

[–] RustyRaven@aussie.zone 5 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Ooh, I leaned about how to find those when I was in Brownies. You have to go find a pond, turn around three times and look in the water while reciting a rhyme to see them. It goes "twist me and turn me and show me the elf". You look in the water and see..... yourself.

Indoctrinating young girls into their role as house keepers, gotta love it. Pretty sure the Scouts didn't get that one. Unfortunately it's also right, this is all on me. I'd rather a helpful pixie.

Ah, was never part of such an organisation but it sounds unpleasant.
