Joey's Water-Squirting Bouquet (Toyroom Prank)

A deceptively ordinary bouquet of flowers presented by Joey (the Toymaker's clown enforcer) in the Toyroom. The bouquet is rigged with a hidden water-squirting mechanism that activates when someone leans in to smell it. When Dodo smells the bouquet, it suddenly sprays water into her face, startling her and the group (including Steven and the Doctor). The prank underscores the Toyroom's dangerous, deceptive nature, where even seemingly harmless objects can be rigged to harm or humiliate. Paired with other prank devices (e.g., a detaching hand), it reinforces the Toymaker's sadistic amusement at the group's discomfort.
