So last night Doug was over, and Nate and Catherine were on their way. This was definitely the perfect opportunity to play some
Scattergories. Sean was excitedly unpacking the game (which is not an exaggeration as many of you know), and he tossed the alphabet ball at Lydia. She was on the floor playing with plastic shapes. Sean passed out the lists to me and Doug, and asked Lydia to bring him the alphabet ball. We looked around--no ball. We looked more intently, no ball. We asked Lydia, "Where did you put the ball?" She gave us a blank stare. At this point, we are like, where is the dang thing?! She had it like three minutes ago and hasn't left the living room!! We decided to go down to her level. So picture me, Sean, and Doug crawling around on the floor looking for this dumb thing. This must have gone on for 20 minutes. At this point, we are more interested in solving the mystery than finding the stupid ball.
Finally Doug says, "I think I found Lydia's secret hiding place." We come over, and he is turning the
subwoofer on it's side, and colorful plastic shapes are falling out, one by one, there were probably six in there. Then pretty soon a pair of
pink socks drops out (no joke). And finally, after a lot of shaking, lastly, out drops the
Scattergories alphabet ball. That stinker!!! (Lydia, not Doug.)
So this morning I said to Sean, "I have got to put this story on the blog. It is too funny." I walked over to get a picture of the alphabet ball next to the
subwoofer in order to illustrate what happened, and
guess who has their hand in there shoving the plastic shapes back in?!
Lydia. Caught red-handed.
