The Many Adventures of Cornman
���
� Hi! � My name is Cornman and I would like to welcome you to my little spot on the web!� I'd like to tell you a little about myself and share my adventures with you!
� My life began in a factory in China which produces Happy Meal toys for McDonald's.� Yes, I am a Happy Meal toy! �I don't know when I arrived in the United States, the details are still a little fuzzy!� For me, my adventure began in 1993 when I was discovered in a shoe box at a retail store in New York. � I think I was left behind by some nice child who forgot where he put me!� Oh well, I was meant for bigger things than sitting in a toy box somewhere. � The managers of the store took good care of me and I lived in the stockroom for many months.� They played with me when business was slow, hiding me in strange locations where the other one would be surprised to find me.� I never knew where I would turn up...locked in a safe, in someone's lunch bag, strapped in the front seat of a car, in the bathroom (ooh, gross!).... �Yes, someone should have told these two to get a life, but they were amused by the whole thing. � Sad, but true! � But they were good to me. � One day, around Easter time, one of them was putting things in an Easter basket for her husband and the other thought it would be cute to hide me in the bottom. � Someone should have told him that the *?% Easter grass itches! �So, that is how I left the store and came to live with Susan and her husband.� Once I arrived in their home, the games continued. � They would hide me all over the house, where the other would not expect to find me.� Imagine the surprise when I turned up in the shower! � Not many people want a Cornman in their shower! � I spent time in quite a few interesting places...the refrigerator, the fish aquarium (see above photo), a medicine cabinet, an underwear drawer, a toy box, hiding under a pillow...
� And then one day, my luck changed when I was "kidnapped" from my home by a nice little girl named Courtney. � She was visiting from Florida and "accidentally" took me home with her. � Her parents had heard the stories of my little adventures and decided that it was time to broaden my horizons. � So, they packed me up, put me on a plane bound for Norway, and that is where my adventure begins...
