Me: Strings that are tied up.
Orison, holding a shoestring: Here’s another knot.

Did you ever watch the movie Cocktail with Tom Cruise?? Probably not : ) But I bet Molly did! : ) I always think of one of my favorite scenes from that movie when I think of the aglet : ) But I don’t recommend the movie just for that scene - it was another day in age when I loved that movie : )

I don’t know if anyone but a shoelace maker needs to know that word. Even then, doohicky might have sufficed.
