I Made You Some Googly Eyes!

At STORE we carry some high end toys. One of the best is the JimmyJane's. They're small, powerful, and discreet. But their designs do look a bit odd at first glance. For instance, the form 2 looks like this:

I have people tell me frequently they think it looks like a tooth, but I've always seen it as more of a bunny. I've often been tempted to draw little eyes on it.

Well one day, a guy comes in. He's looking for a present for his girlfriend, and says she needs something high quality and powerful. I ask if it's for internal or external and when he said external I beelined to the form 2. "This one. It's the best." I tell him how the vibration goes back and forth between the ears, how it's fully waterproof, how it charges. He doesn't say anything, he's just looking at our tester model slightly confused. I'm used to it and grin, "Are you gonna say it looks like a tooth?" He laughs and nods. "I always thought it looked more like a rabbit. All it needs are some googly eyes." A really weird look flashes across his face. I tilt my head at him, wondering if he's offended or weirded out by thinking of a sex toy as being cute. But to my infinite surprise, he pulls out two perfectly hand-made googly eyes. They're cut from white cardboard, with little pupils drawn on, shine included. I look from them sitting in his palm up to him, incredulous.

"I made them. I usually carry some around with me, I like to stick them to random things, but when you mentioned wanting to put eyes on this I decided you had to have them." He tipped them into my hand, and proceeded to buy the form 2. I rang him up and looked at the eyes in my palm. I couldn't tape them to the toy since we have to show it off several times a day. Finally I decided to tape them to my scanner on the front register. They stayed there for months until finally one fell off and got lost.
