Lesson #1. Clean today, Gone tomorrow.
This here pile of shoes mysteriously appeared the day after the house was spotless. I gathered them from every corner of the first floor. Sad part...this picture doesn't show them all. I overlooked a couple.
I like to call it my own personal *Big Bang Theory*: My house was clean...and then *bang* it wasn't. Quite scientific, this theory is.Well, I was discussing this rather remarkable phenomenom with a friend. Telling her how little elves obviously come into my home when I'm sleeping or out of the house...throwing everything that's not nailed down all over the floors.
Hours later, when I was asking the girls to clean up their stuff before Video Time, Charis made a comment that took me a second to register: "We're good elves, aren't we?"
Life Lesson #2: Never assume that your phone conversations are private.
Children have remarkably good hearing when it comes to conversations you're having with others. especially when the phone is involved.
And for the record, I was not referring to my children when mentioning those Mysterious Elves. though I have to say, it does make sense. :)
