An Easy Explanation?

Okay, first things first, if you are my wife, you cannot under any circumstances read this post. Seriously. I don’t have the time to prep and sell the house, so just go read something else. Here’s a link to one of your favorite blogs. Go there. Don’t come back until this entry is further down the page.

Clumsy Cajun

Okay.

Seriously, stop reading. Get gone.

Okay. So the wife and kids went to the lake this week and left me to do the bachelor thing for a couple days. Which is no big deal. I get the chance to work late without guilt. So it’s around 11:30pm last night and I’m watching TV on the couch. I get up and go to the dining room to work on the phpBB board I run.

As usual, I fall asleep at the laptop because it’s late and I’m tired. I wake up. It’s around 1:00am. I get up to go to bed. As I walk by the couch, I notice a small bowl of colored marshmallows sitting on the couch…

The couch where I was sitting earlier.

I am in a locked house.
Alone.
I WAS SITTING ON THAT COUCH AND THERE WERE NO MARSHMALLOWS.

Here’s what went through my head: “WTF? WTF? WTF? WTF? WTF? WTF?” I’m literally running to all three doors and checking the locks. I turned on every light in the house and starting opening every closet door. I scanned every nook and cranny of that house.

Every door was locked. Every closet was empty. It took 30 minutes before reason finally kicked in. I must have found them wherever the boy left them earlier in the day and set them on the couch so I’d remember to throw them away before bed. I must have done that in my sleep.

I MUST HAVE.

    You funny.

    I’ve seen you hold entire conversations while basically being asleep.
    You can look at it in one of two ways (if not more)
    1. Congratulations, you are being productive while you sleep!
    2. Congratulations, some strange creepy being let itself into your house through a key hole, and all it did to you was move a stale bowl of marshmallows to freak you out!
    This could have been much worse, but speaking as someone who lives alone, this kind of stuff is SUPER creepy when you’re by yourself!!!
    One night, I came home to find my clock in the bathroom which dad always been hanging securely by a big nail that was still 100% in tact, was laying face down busted and about 2 feet to the left from where it had been hanging. The window was closed, there are no vents in that room, the cats cannot reach that high and why was it not directly in front of where it was hanging?? I took pictures…

    I like the way Becca thinks. LOL I wonder what else you do in your sleep that you aren’t aware of? Anyway, that certainly does seem to be the most logical explanation. Pretty funny though!

    NO, they had been there the whole time. He had left them on the couch. More than likely, you just sat on or near them earlier and just didn’t notice. It is funny that a small bowl of marshmallows can freak you out. I wonder if we have anymore? I have to go and find a bowl!!!! LOL!

    I think that I would know if I sitting on a bowl of marshmallows. But that’s fine that you think it’s funny. We can keep the house.
