A Shiny Morning Lever
I scrambled up the open kitchen drawer handle and hoisted myself onto the bright marble counter! Right next to a jar of wooden spoons stood a tall, chrome toaster shining like a bright morning mirror. On its side was a flat black lever that looked just like a tiny diving board. Leaning all the way forward, I wrapped both of my long arms around the lever, wiggled my toes off the marble, and let my whole fuzzy weight press down. Click-clack! The lever slid smoothly down into its slot with the most satisfying metallic snap. I stayed hanging there, feet dangling over the cool polished stone, giggling as the chrome reflected my silly upside-down smile! Tee-hee, hmm-mm!
