Adventures with props

As I was leaving work today, my friend Curtis handed me a poor abandoned hanger that he found in a box left from the wedding the night before. I decided to name her "hangy" and in that moment, I also decided to take hangy on an adventure this afternoon. Below is a visual diary of our afternoon.

The outing began with a leisurely stroll to the park, but along the way, hangy found some garbage

 She decided the best thing to do would be to recycle it.

 Next it was time to play!

Good times with a new friend.
After the park we continued on our way, and as we passed by a phone booth, one of the phones started to ring. Hangy decided to be polite and answer it... but it was a wrong number.

Next on our journey we passed some beautiful trees, hangy NEEDED to climb. She's really good with balance.

At this point we both started to feel a little peckish, and then hangy spotted a subway. She decided that we should indulge in one of her favorite snacks: subway cookies.

She picked out her favorite kind

 And we sat down for our snack. Hangy was really hungry.

yum. Okay, with full stomachs we decided that maybe it was time to come home. Now hangy was a little bit sad, for she didn't have a home to go home to. I decided that maybe it was best if hangy came home with me, as long as she could get along with the other hangers. She liked this idea a lot.
We walked across the bridge to the streetcar stop, what a view!

 Hangy got very excited and started to climb up the bridge even though I told her not too, pretty soon she was up way too high.

 I had to scold hangy to get her to finally come down.

She said she was sorry and was just overly-excited, and we made up, and found our way to the streetcar stop.

 After a cozy ride home, we made it inside. I introduced hangy to the key holder first, they got along splendidly.

Next we made our way to the closet, and hangy fit right in.

 It was settled then, I was to adopt hangy for good. I asked hangy if she wanted to come live with me and she got very excited and gave me a big hug.

The end of the day was approaching, and hangy was a little tuckered out from our busy day, so I tucked her in for a sleep.

Goodnight hangy!

Side note: Two different men commented "nice hanger" as I was waiting for the streetcar. Another man commented as I walked by: "beautiful eyes, nice hair, why are you carrying a hanger?" ridiculous objectification aside, I think it is interesting how giving people an object of conversation is key to allowing them to feel comfortable enough to interact with you. Anyone who wants to be spoken to on public transit,  carry a prop. I guarantee it will work.

Love and kindness all.
