Hello, Ricky? / I Love Lucy TM / It's a standard yet hilarious formula. Lucy wants something. Ricky says no. / The determined redhead nags, tricks, and sweet-talks her husband until he / finally gives in. Whether she is begging him to let her perform at his club, / or asking him to conduct an "all-girls" orchestra for a fund-raiser, the / outcome is usually the same. Ricky will pitch a fit (usually in Spanish), / the crisis will be resolved, and the lovebirds' life returns to normal-but / only until the next episode! / To play the phone conversation between Lucy and Ricky, / press the button on the left front of the ornament. / BATTERY-OPERATED. Batteries included. / Instructions printed inside box. / For decorative use only. Not for children under 8. / Concu a des fins decoratives seulement. / Ne convient pas aux enfants de moins de 8 ans. / HANDCRAFTED - DATED 2006
