When I said "no more penguins", I meant no more NEW penguins. Having a few around the place can prove useful in life.
Example:
As some of you may know (and some of you certainly don't, given I've not been around much recently, and any Facebook updates on the matter have been decidedly cryptic), I'm six months pregnant. As anyone who's already been there knows, this poses certain logistical problems in terms of sleeping arrangements.
Lying on stomach: out, clearly.
Lying on back: out, not only does this put too much weight on internal organs, it also causes backache, cuts off blood supply to legs and provokes "snorfling" (special word invented by Ze Husband, meaning "snoring in a manner disproportionate to one's size").
Lying on side: Yes, but requires wedging with cushions...or... STUFFED PENGUINS.
It's amazing. They're exactly the right shape. Seriously.
Hmmm. Nap time, methinks.
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH.
