Over the past few months, MrMan can sometimes be heard yelling, "Pi-i-if! Pi-i-if!" My mom taught him this word - it's a colloquial way of saying stinky in Persian. I think my mom's thought was he could use it in relation to his solid waste. But I think MrMan's thought is that he can use it whenever he wants to attract attention. Early on, I thought it was a summoning to change his diaper. I eventually realized it's just a summoning.
But that's not the kind of PIF I'm talking about. The kind of PIF I'm talking about is more like this article: Where Dreams Live. Except that it doesn't involve a restaurant or $10,000. (Read the article. It's touching.)
It does involve a beautiful handmade card and felted coffee cuff that I (and two other bloggers) recieved from GreenStyleMom, after she (and two other bloggers) received another gift.
So now it's my turn to pay it forward to three other bloggers (who should then pay it forward as well).
If you'd like to participate, please leave a comment. I will choose the PIF-ers on or around January 18.
I love this idea and would like to participate. I did something similar a few years ago--a (not very close) friend stumbled upon my Amazon wishlist through a series of links and had a book from the list sent to me simply because he himself had read it and he thought I'd like it. I was so surprised and touched by such a random gift that I went back to Amazon, searched for a random friend's list, and sent her one of her own desired books with a note explaining that I was paying forward another random act of kindness. She ending up PIFing, too!

Ugh and I'm at work! quit being so touching! :)
