My Voodoo Doll Failed Me

It started as a joke

Woman Dressed as a Witch Holding a Voodoo Doll

One of my friends who will remain nameless gave me a voodoo doll. It was similar to a signature bear — made of canvas or calico — and had organs marked on the body and spots to prick to cause specific pain to your chosen enemy. At times when I felt discouraged and really down, I would amuse myself by pricking the voodoo doll in the ’nads. You all know who was the victim.

The strange thing is even if he did catch an STD or testicular cancer I will never know because he doesn’t have any communication with any of his children. But anything that put some cheer back in my life can’t be all bad.

If you’re worried about me causing pain to another person, don’t concern yourself. I still have the voodoo doll but I haven’t seen it for years. For those following my spring cleaning stories, I’ve almost finished the third corner of my bedroom. I’ve just filled a bag with make-up that I’m never going to wear to give to the Op Shop.

Thank you for keeping up with my everyday stories.
