This past week was the last week of summer vacation for my boys & we've been, well you know how it goes. We tried to pack a few fun things into this week.
Like this...
You pull into your driveway (or parking spot), do the usual getting out of the car routine & head into your house (or place of residence). You walk through the door & once inside grab the doorknob to shut the door behind you.
Would you notice this?
I know, now you're asking (me) "Why?" What in the world would possess (you) anyone to do such a thing? Well, here's my answer...
Why wouldn't you!?!
Seriously, why not put sock on the doorknobs? Why not put a stuffed snake around the top of your television? (Yes, his name was Steve & he sadly perished in "The Great House Fire of '09".) Why not be silly every now & then? Just to keep 'em guessing.
Yes, I do some of my best thinking in the bathroom, but who doesn't?
Anyway, I decided that doorknob socks needed to be done. Then a week went by. Then I decided the time was right. So I turned to my boys & asked "Who wants to help me put socks on the doorknobs?!"
Chicken sniggered. Squab chuckled. Then Squab asked (while performing that sputtering laugh he does when he's both amused & stunned by my brilliance) "Why?"
Why wouldn't you!?!
When the Stork arrived home, he passed six of those doors & handled at least three before anything registered. In the end, it was the act of closing the pantry door that did it.
Why wouldn't you!?!
Why wouldn't you?
You never know when the result might make someone's day.
Aloha hugs,
