(The scene opens as the Slob’s child runs out of the Friend’s master bedroom.)
Slob: (gasps) CHILD, what are you doing? Why were you in there?
Friend: (interrupting) Oh, it’s okay, they’re playing Hide-and-Seek.
Slob: In your bedroom?
Friend: Yeah, kids love to hide in my closet.
Slob: (incredulous) And that’s okay?
Friend: Um, yeah . . . why?
(Fade to blackout as Friend merrily continues playing cards while Slob stares ahead, clearly dumbfounded.)
Too funny! I'm sure someday kids will be able to come to your house and hide in your closets. How is the master bedroom clean up going?
admittedly, my closet is probably the most organized space in the entire house. but there still isn't hide-n-seek occurring in it. i'm dumbfounded right along with you.
I'm laughing like crazy, because that was my house, wasn't it? Glad you classified me as normal! And I wondered why you were so concerned about them being in my room! I thought you were worried we had a gun or something (which we DON'T). You crack me up.
That's funny, cuz I thought it was my house!!! 🙂 I was gonna re-name myself "Fun Mom". I'll let you be "Fun Mom" also, LeaBeth, if you want.
Oh my word! This is SO funny! I would DIE if a guest wandered into my closet! I would just have to hope they could make it out alive!
You made me laugh so much. It was the list of characters that killed me.
I totally get it!! My kids (and friends kids….arrgghh) love playing hide and seek in our house….as there are SOOOO many places to hide (aka clutter piles) but the master bedroom is a big off limits area…mainly because it would be hard to get to the closet… I love your blog so much..it’s nice to know I’m not alone!!
