Precision Launch

A heavy metal tablespoon and a fuzzy red felt ball were resting right beside a thick cork coaster on the rug! An instant launcher idea—no waiting! I shoved the coaster under the spoon handle until it balanced like a tiny seesaw. Perfect tilt! I nudged the fuzzy ball right into the spoon bowl with my nose, took two quick steps back, and pounced straight onto the raised handle! *Clink-thwack!* The red puff launched skyward, sailed in a high floating arc, and landed—*plop!*—dead center in the shallow woven basket! A direct bullseye on the very first shot!
