solve the mystery!
There have been some strange goings-on in and around the household as of late. See if you can find the answers...
mystery #1:
I could have sworn I saw the sugar bowl move on its own across the kitchen counter this morning. It was very unsettling, to say the least.
Was it (a) a wet spot on the counter, causing the bowl to slide on its own?
(b) a result of watching too many episodes of "Ghosthunters"?
(c) the hijinks of a poltergeist?
mystery #2:
Sofia voluntarily put herself down for a nap today.
Was it (a) she was feeling under the weather and needed to rest?
(b) that she decided to try and make my life a little easier today?
(c) she was possessed by a poltergeist?
mystery #3:
We came home from our trip to find a half-eaten cucumber on the hood of Ernesto's car.
Was it (a) some creature, such as a squirrel who stole the vegetable from our neighbor's garden and deposited it there after having its fill?
(b) that Ernesto occasionally likes to have a salad whilst sitting on his car?
(c) the poltergeist's silent plee for us to become vegetarians?
I do not have all the answers. But if in fact a poltergeist is responsible for all the things, I will no longer need to make excuses for my lackluster housekeeping. I will finally have someone to blame.
Here's hoping!

It's totally a poltergeist. Perhaps the same poltergeist responsible for ... hobo carts!
I want a poltergeist on which to blame my neatness or lack therof too!

If one of those hobo carts shows up on my front lawn I am running like hell to the nearest motel!

A half-eated cucumber was laying on Ernie's car?? That is fricken hillarious! Sofie's not feeling so hot, huh? Give her a big hug for me!

You might want to consider that your home has been infested by gremlins. We've got a bunch of them around here. They're responsible for everything from unflushed toilets to piles of toys in the middle of the living room.
I don't know how to get rid of them.

She's a little better now, Cat, thanks. Rough night last night though...ugh!
Phil- Oh yes, I heard about your gremlin infestation. I'm pretty certain I've got them too. They write on the walls in crayon and pee on the floor in the bathroom. And somehow they managed to get mildew in the tub. Dirty gremlins!

Ha ha, sound like Phil got the same household than I do. The cucumber freaks me out!

I think the cucumber is menacing - especially if you've read Jasper Fforde's The Fourth Bear.
I'll say no more.
