I try to keep this quiet, but things are not always rosy with the Jumping Jacks.
At first glance, they appear innocent. Let’s look a little closer.
Apparently there has been yet another argument in a series of arguments with these two. You’ve only to look at the body language. The monkey is completely turned away from the soldier. If that doesn’t scream “I want nothing to do with you” I don’t know what does. And check out the expression on the soldier’s face. He’s not happy at all. I’d go so far as to say he’s pissed off.
Now they’re involving the guy on the right.
This kind of stuff spreads quickly.
Meanwhile, the baker is clearly trying to have some sort of dialogue with the King.
The King doesn’t look very receptive.
Looks like I’m going to have to call a meeting. Once again, I will have to explain that we are all in this together, that we are all one and that we must take responsibility for our actions.
And then I might have to knock some heads together.

Cute story! It made me appreciate that bunch even more now that I have an insight into their thinking! Ha! Ha! Ha! It’s so creative the way these little guys are built! They’re very colourful. I’ve never seen any of these except on your blog! They must make for good conversation pieces when you have guests!

YOU ARE NOT RIGHT!!!!! Funny!

:-) It it takes knocking heads together than so be it, chick. It usually takes a woman to get men to see things straight!

LOL! I loved this! looks like you have your work cut out for you. I suggest a sit down with you acting as mediator…and if that doesn’t work…a session with Dr.Phil might be the ticket.
have a great day Claudia!

You crack me up as usual. I think some time out is in order and maybe a change in their placement.
Love you,

The couple on the bottom seem to be having their own issues, too! But the little lady over on the right top looks idiotically happy… perhaps she could spread some sunshine!
Teresa says

I see exactly what you mean. Some ‘cold shouldering’ going on there. And that King seems to think it’s beneath him to converse with his baker. For shame!
Yep, knock a few heads together. And I bet you’re just the lady to do it!!

They probably jump the night away whilst you sleep and are grumpy during the day.
Maura @ Lilac Lane Cottage says
Now that was cute Claudia. I love your collection…very different! :)

Excuse me for being so blunt, but I see the problems with the jumping jacks. They are obviously pissed off because there is a string where they should have a penis. What kind of a mood would you expect? Poor, disappointed jumping jacks…
NanaDiana says
If you really want to discipline them I would suggest you turn all their faces to the wall till they settle down. They will then know that you mean business. xo Diana
ps. works great with kids, too!
~Lavender Dreamer~ says
OH MY! They really do have a lot of personality….hope they don’t clash too often! You might have to move them around until you find out who gets along with who…or is it whom? heehee! ♥
Reena Walkling says
Laughing over here! That was so cute!

Your jumping jacks are adorable. Jumping Jack anyway. It’s Hampelmaa in Swiss German.
