Randomness

I introduced my kids to the Blackadder a few days ago.  This has led to much singing of the theme song, with one minor change, around my house: "Black bla-a-a-der, Black bla-a-a-der, mumble mumble mumble la da da-a-a!"

While talking about King Solomon requesting wisdom from God, we asked the primary kids what *they* would ask for, if they could have anything at all.  Some of the answers were expected- more wishes, to be rich, to have a self-cleaning house (I really liked that last wish myself).  One of the kids blurted out, "I want a pretty pony!" which made me laugh so hard I couldn't write it on the chalkboard!

I used the yarn of doom and started knitting socks today.  I left everything in a neat pile by the couch, and took a nap.  While I was napping, Jared took the kids to the park, leaving me alone in the house, asleep.  Somebody (we don't know who) apparently snuck into the house and made a spider-web with the sock yarn.  If we had cats, there would be no mystery.  But we have dogs, and they are unable to open doors as of yet.  The yarn was wound all around the piano legs, kitchen chairs, and table, which forced me to frog *another* pair of socks.  This creeped Jared out a bit, but it made me laugh.  He thinks it was a person.  I know that it's the yarn.  Cursed yarn!
