The Love of a Girl for her Lamp


Never underestimate the love of a girl for her lamp. Take, for instance, the story of Zoey and her friend Lampy. At first, Zoey didn't notice Lampy, but he continued to patiently give soft glowing light for all those late night nursing sessions. In time, Zoey grew to notice Lampy and spent many happy moments gazing into his glowing light. She began talking to him as a beloved friend, and even looking lovingly at him during the day when his light wasn't glowing. Lampy never knew he could be loved like this. He had been appreciated before, but loved? Never!
He began his life in a factory in Tawain and spent many lonely nights in a dark box all alone traveling the the Ikea distribution center and then on to the store where he waited with expectation that a loving family would find a good use for him, never dreaming what lay in store for him. One day, along came Zoey's mom and dad (long before Zoey was born) and brought Lampy home where the mounted him above a beloved painting. Lampy enjoyed the painting and was greatly appreciated by Zoey's mom and dad. But, after Zoey was born, Lampy was re-purposed and mounted above Zoey's mom and dad's bed and that's when he met Zoey. Zoey and Lampy remain good friends to this day. When asked to comment on her relationship with Lampy, Zoey exclaimed, "A-goo!" which no one has been able to translate as of yet. Could it really mean, "I love Lampy"? We may never know for sure, but we can never underestimate the love of a girl for her lamp.
