Your wife knew where everything was because your sons married competent women, which is lucky for them...

Hey Tony, long time no see.

Great story, and I have to say this is the first time I've read something like this from you where our houses differ.

Around here I'm the one who always knows where stuff is.

Anyway, great story and take care.

I fricken cried over this. Right now my girls don't talk but eventually they will and it'll probably sound like this. Except they better know where their pants are.

The punch line was the "we think it was a burglar" thing, and obviously the well known but always available "did you get to Tijuana again?". That's a classic.

The fact is, I left a note to my mom this morning too, and it said: "I bought a new pair of blue pants last week, and I intend to use them next friday, so peek around and tell me where they are".

It's not her fault, she puts whatever comes out from the washing machine according to who she believes the clothes belong to. Unfortunately, it turns out her belief is not exactly what I would say accurate, so we have some sort of always-changing wardrobe, each day we can put on different clothes of different sizes.

I asked my Dad " where's Hadrians wall" a long time ago whilst doing geography homework. His reply?
"Ask your Mother she puts everything away"
Great writing Tony

Btw, we want a Christmas post with pics of you and your family celebrating. In fact, I demand more pics, they would add some special touch to the posts.
