A Clattering Escape

I waddled away from the desk toward that big open hallway to see what else was out there! Right beside the doorframe, I rammed headfirst into an open umbrella propped against the baseboard. *Boing-clatter!* The springy black fabric popped open with a huge shudder, sending three mismatched, brightly colored laundry clips tumbling onto the wood. Ha! I grabbed a fiery orange clip with both stubby arms and snapped it onto the handle just to see it pinch, giggling while the whole thing wobbled like a giant mushroom!
