***********************************
It's time once again for a random and happy Tuesday, linking up with Stacy's Random Thoughts at Stacy Uncorked and Sandee at Comedy Plus.
Carl and his parents were gone this weekend, so i walked in on an interesting scene.
As far as i can tell, he put his suitcase on the bed to pack it originally, removing all the blankets and upper sheet, then slept on the chair in his room or in the living room sleep chair when they got back Sunday afternoon instead of remaking the bed.
Through the morning, i asked myself, do i want to know?
Why he's now leaving the dirty sock in his shoe?
Why the shorts he ignored all summer long are now all off the hanging rack?
(The answer might be he was looking for his swimsuit. Either way, all the shorts were on the floor or in dirty clothes bins and had to be washed.)
Why was the dental floss tangled up with the clean socks?
Why, when he knew he'd be out of town and was told to go buy deodorant, he bought both men's and women's varieties?
Then there were those for which i have no picture, such as, Why was the callous pad stuck to the outside of his sock when you are supposed to put it directly on your foot? Bonus tip, don't do that, you can't ever peel them off the sock, the sticky part stays. Forever.
Or, why is the laundry stain remover in the car?
My habit is to grab the laundry stain remover spray bottle when i sit to sort his clothes and spray them all as i go along. Yesterday, i could not find it anywhere, and finally decided to look in the car. At that point, i couldn't find the spare car key, either.
Turns out, he was cleaning the car and has lost the spare key. Also, he was cleaning the car and couldn't find the carpet stain remover, so he thought the laundry stuff would work just as well.
Please note that it does not, and you can't get it out unless you launder the item in question, which, when it's the carpet or upholstery of a car, you cannot do.
At least his car smells better, like laundry stain remover spray.
Because it's still Cephalopod Awareness Week, a few more octopus funnies.
Have a blessed and beautiful Tuesday!

ReplyDeleteHooray for celebrating the octopus.
Those octopus funnies are the best. Octopi are seriously smart beings ;)
ReplyDeleteWe were thinking if Carl was gone for a while, it would make cleaning less work, but it appears that being gone is out of his norm and actually causes a lot more chaos for you to work through. More job security!
ReplyDeleteEverything within easy reach
ReplyDeleteCarl is gone and you're work is still as difficult. He's a whirlwind of confusion. You handle it very well.
ReplyDeleteLove all the funnies. You made me chuckle more than once.
Thank you for joining the Happy Tuesday Blog Hop.
Have a fabulous Happy Tuesday. Big hug. ♥
I hope you get a lot of money to help Carl. It's amazing of what he does.
ReplyDeleteHave a great day Mimi.

I work hard to pick up my house before my housekeeper comes. She ask why my house is so clean because there is not much for her to do. I took pictures of it before I pick up and she was amazed and said "thank you". Your squid funnies are too funny.
ReplyDeleteWow! ~ You are right ~ don't ask ~ Bless, Carl ~
ReplyDeleteLove the wonderful lol pics and captions ~ they are all delightful ~ Xo
Wishing you good health, laughter and love in your days,

As you have written before- job security. :)
ReplyDeleteI love the octopus comics- took a second to understand ten tickles. :) XO
I'll bet vacationing with Carl would be quite the trip. Those were good funnies too!
ReplyDelete3 hearts and 9 brains? We should be glad they haven't tried to take over the world. The tiny fingertip baby is cute.
ReplyDeleteThere must be some reward for your patience with Carl. I hope it comes your way soon. Loved your "Don't ask" photos.
ReplyDeleteCarl! Always entertaining (for the rest of us!) I love octopus! Those littles are SERIOULY cute!
ReplyDeleteCarl certainly keeps you on your toes, doesn't he? :) Loved all the funnies - octopus are such interesting creatures for sure!
