ZINGER
The Zinger is a brat. Not necessarily a problem child, but definitely needs some discipline. Its older sibling, The Zipper, is way more responsible.
It was birthed when I folded the plans for the Zipper onto itself and took out scissors.
Who knew it would become such a nuisance? And yet, being the younger sibling gives The Zinger the freedom to zoom a little bit faster, a little more symmetrically, without so much parental supervision.
All in all I made it. I wouldn’t un-make it. I love it. I really do.
Hopefully, you can find it in your heart to do the same.
