Shop goblins (shop hints?)

we have a shop goblin, not really a gremlin. it’s a little stone
statue that sits on top of the kiln. when the goblin is not on the
kiln, my husband knows that the kiln is ON and not to put his coffee
cup on top - he boils his coffee that way.

lately he’s taken to blaming it for anything that might be missing.
mostly because the goblin has such a nice smile on his face!
