There's a knot in the faux wood finish on the kitchen table where Lefty likes to keep his daily glass of water. I don't know why sometimes I can't just be a grownup, but one night when Hunneypunkin and I were home alone (that doesn't happen often) I said, "Hey. Wanna get a little crazy?"
Hunneypunkin just looked at me weird. (That actually does happen often.)
"Help me turn the kitchen table around," I said.
Again, he just looked at me weird. (See? Often.)
"Lefty likes to keep his glass on this knot," I explained.
Hunneypunkin chuckled. He was totally picking up what I was laying down. And then even though he had worked like two hundred and sixty-one hours that week, he dragged himself off the couch to help me turn the table around and place Lefty's glass back where it usually sits, but where there was no longer a knot. Because perplexing the people we live with is how we roll.
I was so happy that I happened to be in the kitchen the next time Lefty strolled in, took a drink of water, and--couldn't set his glass down. He sounded like Jeremy Renner on a witch hunt when he said, "WHERE IS MY KNOT?!"
Pixie and Angel Doll had to help me turn the table back to its original position so I wouldn't drop it from laughing, Lefty could have his knot back, and balance could be restored to the Force.
Was that a lot of trouble to go to just for five seconds of a pathetic practical joke? Yes indeed. Was it worth it? Absolutely. Because, as The Precious says, "Classic absurd pranking is what we do."
Thanks for not-growing-up with us!
