CULTURE/SOCIETY: A Parental Story

This is me, NOT some reprinted piece. But if you've kept up on my "tweets" from my Twitter account, you've heard the main details. - OlderMusicGeek

My daughter couldn't find her glasses one morning. We looked high and low. Sometimes, she falls asleep with them on watching tv, so we shook out the blankets, lifted her mattress, and looked under the bed. No signs of her glasses anywhere. I won't disgust you, though, with what things we did find!

But while looking for the glasses a second time without her, I did find the chip bag she had been eating from - after bed time I might add! And it was left open - as always. So I reached down in annoyance to close it - and saw something in there!

Sure enough, it was her glasses!

When I asked my daughter how the glasses ended up in a chip bag, she said she must have knocked the glasses from the night stand to the chip bag on the floor. Which makes sense, since she always knocking glasses and other stuff - like glasses of water - off her night stand with her tossing and turning.


Later though, my daughter and I began to wonder if we had a gremlin in the house. For we found a sharpie in a water bottle and my spare car key showed up in my shoe. So either my daughter is stranger than I thought and our house is haunted!
