A while back, Michael went through a phase where he put various objects in the light fixture in our entryway. Winnie the Pooh and different articles of clothing would simply appear. But after a while, nothing. I was sure it was the calm before the storm - I figured he'd put a in bunch of Matchbox cars or his collection of car magazines. But nothing happened. Quite honestly, I was surprised when I stopped seeing stuffed animals and pajama bottoms in the light; every once in a while I’d come out of my room just sure I’d see something left there by my very tall oldest. But for over 18 months, nothing. I figured he'd passed on that phase. It was a fun little game that I was sad to see go. I suppose if it had caused a fire it wouldn't have been all that fun... but no fire, so still fun.
Turns out he only moved on from the light fixture phase. Last week I noticed he chose the mantle for his new "hiding" place:
This is our family room. Notice anything out of place? Let's get a closer look...
Ah, yes, it's our purple puppet hippo, perched on a paper towel roll. How about a side view?
Yep, it's Mr. Purple Puppet Hippo
I can only imagine what's next.
HA!
ReplyDeleteReminds me of a group of gals I used to hang around with from high school days. We'd get together at a beach house once a year and the largest gal in our group, who was quite a trickster, would inevitable get her bra stolen and it would be found in awkward places, usually the freezer, but once it was blowing in the breeze on a flagpole outside for the world to see!
Linda - if I wake up one morning and find my bras anywhere but my dresser drawer I'm blaming you!
ReplyDeleteHilarious!
ReplyDeleteI certainly won't be stealing your bras. Don't worry.
