Don't Ask, Just Enjoy a Laugh, a Random and Happy Tuesday Post

 ***********************************

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!
