When I went to bed I think the house was in pretty good order. Wasn’t it? Shoes in the closet and wrappers in the trash. Only fresh food in the fridge.
And now. Upon waking, it seems as if some devilish brute elf was at work in the dark. You Must be kidding! Isn’t this just a bad dream? Oh, PUH-LEEESE! Somebody pinch me!
Dirty dishes overflow the sink, trying to escape the eventual drowning in hot soapy water. Fuzzy stuff and bits of leaf on the carpet. Ring around the tub along with dried toothpaste in the sink. Didn’t I JUST mop the kitchen floor? When did we put the jar of spaghetti sauce in the refrigerator? Surely not long ago enough to breed what is also in the jar. ENOUGH!
It is a scientifically proven fact that mess multiplies in the dark. In some cases, however, it happens so completely and so quickly that it can only be ascribed to the work of the DEVILISH BRUTE ELF.
Tonight I am setting out the motion activated cameras to try to catch this creature in the act. But first, where are the rubber gloves and disinfectant?!
Wrappers are the bane of my existence.
Hahaha! Oh man, this describes my house to a T. My devilish elf brute, as it happens, is about 3 feet tall, has blonde hair, and a cherubic disposition around strangers…
