The Apple Slide

I tapped my big green toes across the linoleum straight toward the bottom of the refrigerator! Right at eye level hung a chunky red magnet shaped like a round apple. With no hands to grab it, I pressed my leafy stalk against its smooth plastic edge and shoved with all my fuzzy weight. Scrr-eeek! It slid down the cool white enamel with a funny rubbery squeal before snapping tightly to the lower metal trim—clack! Stepping back on both feet, I threw my head back with a proud 'la-la-la!' My morning gallery shift was officially complete.
