this is what it sometimes looks like ….
During pre-bedtime prayers the puppy loudly learns that he has the ability to completely leap on to the kitchen table and help himself to a plate of leftovers.
Someone says, “Oh, Mom. Yeah. We ran out of cat food. I meant to tell you last week.”
I discover a completely empty, recently purchased, bottle of body wash in the bath tub. No one can explain it and no one is any cleaner than they were.
Cobwebs form on every surface, seemingly overnight.
Recipes are crafted purely from imaginations and we are all forced to sample bread-like dough muffins filled with raisins and mini marshmallows.
A boy rises from his sleep to share this story: “Mom. I once saw a lady in Ikea. She was wearing a shirt that said, ‘Kiss Me’. Then I saw her pick her nose.”
At the library we frequently return books that do not belong to the public library system.
Someone casually states, “I just pulled out my tooth. I’m going to just throw it away but you can still give me some money.”

I don’t know” lives here! Things happen & I know i I didn’t do it! And “since there is only me & my retired husband here, I thought, I guess” I don’t know” must visit often or moved in? Who knows. I guess every home has a ghost!

Ha – It does seem that the odds of discovering guilty parties should increase as the number of people in a home decrease — but I guess it isn’t working out that way! 🙂

I can explain the body wash. It was used by “Not Me”. He used to live at our house.

Yeah – I’m giving that guy his own bedroom here I guess.
