What was I holding?

Last week I wrote a blog post with three pictures of me from three days and asked if you could tell what I was holding in the third picture:

A lot of people guessed so I thought I should give away the answer!

Leah: Hey pretty girl! The suspense is kind of killing me. You know I don’t do well with suspense (example: our Costa Blanca conversation of this week). What are you holding!?

I texted Leah (my sister) one day asking her if there was a Costa Blanca in her area and never did explain why. Over the course of the next few days I got a few texts from her, all increasingly frantic, asking what was at Costa Blanca that she needed to see. It wasn’t really a big deal because I decided not to get it (and I’m not wonderful about replying texts/phone calls when I’m busy) so I didn’t reply. I finally replied when I realized it was sending her over the edge. Bit of a shopaholic, that one.
But Leah, you didn’t even take a guess.

Allison: It’s a retainer! Or a lime! haha then I asked Matt what he thought it was and he said retainer too!!

Dear Allison, you had the right shape with retainer, but unfortunately you and Matt will not be quitting your job to become detectives any time soon.

allison: I think it is a toy dinosaur, like Rex from Toy Story, and the part we see is the tail.

That was quite the unexpected guess! Unfortunately for you, I don’t really carry Toy Story toys around very often. Points for creativity, though!

Connie (our mom): It better not be a pregnancy test…..but what a way to start a rumour!!!!

Megan: A pregnancy test??

Ladies, that would be the weirdest way ever to announce my pregnancy. Sorry mom, only one grandbaby for you in the next nine months! Far as I know, anyways.

Rachel: I guess a piece of green pepper!

Connie: By the way, What you are holding is a piece of green pepper. gotta be.

Kate: I also thought green pepper.

You are all sooo… right! Congratulations! Good to know I am related to two of the smarties.

Thanks for playing along!
