Random oddities from my house. Got any random oddities from yours?
1. I once named a pictus cat (aquarium bottom feeder) ‘Stevens’ just so I could call him Cat Stevensfish. ba-da-BUMP! (You have to be at least 40 to get that lame joke.)
2. Currently, we have a kitty named ‘Fisher’ and in the aquarium, a red bellied pacus named ‘Cat.’ According to my husband, this is so we can call the cat ‘Fish’ and the fish ‘Cat.’ (And you thought the Cat Stevensfish joke was lame!)
3. Our 80 lb. rottie mix is deathly afraid of the neighbor’s chihuahua.
4. Our house eats hand towels and then regurgitates them into the wash. Despite my best efforts, there is never a hand towel available in the kitchen or the bathroom. I put them out– really, I do –and they immediately disappear. As a result, I wash LOADS of hand towels, yet I’m forced to dry my hands on my jeans. *sigh*
5. I am mentally incapable of keeping track of a cup of coffee. I drink the stuff every day, and yet I cannot finish a full cup without forgetting where I put the doggone thing down. I leave them in the bathroom, on dressers, on the front step… By noon I’m usually on my 3rd or 4th coffee mug. When I do dinner dishes, I send the kids on a cup hunt to find any I lost all day. Do they make The Clapper for coffee cups? I really need to buy one!
Sooo…that’s random weirdness from my house. What can you share from yours?
My kids are each allowed to leave 1 pair of flip flops and 1 pair of sneakers downstairs in our laundry room. Apparently their shoes multiply all by themselves. By the end of the week I have at least 10 pairs of shoes in there!
Use a mug with a tracker.
Well, since my last name is Stevens, the Cat Stevensfish thing caught my attention. And yes, I got the joke! 🙂
My daughter once had two fish she named Peanut Butter and Jelly. Peanut Butter bit the dust first, but Jelly could PLAY dead like no other!
Just a Mom, I think I have the socks to match those shoes here at my house. I haven’t bought socks since 1982, but we have 54 pair here just the same. 🙂
Pochp…do they make those? 😀
Yay Kween! Now I don’t feel so old. lol! Love the PB&J fish–that’s cute!
Our house is a certified playground of weirdness. Lots of blog fodder for the brave hearted. I loved your post. It made me smile. At least you are not drying your hands on the dog. lol. I’ve done that. Luring your non compliant dog back into the house with ritz crackers? I love your pet’s names also.
Ha ha HAH! My “chew toy” scares your “real” dog?
(That laughter you hear? It’s maniacal.)
*Takes note of the Ritz crackers tip.* Thanks, Sweetiegirlz!
Kemi, is that sarcasm I detect in your tone?
