.....with the intentions of practicing Haunted Mansion Clue game for the much anticipated rematch with my Granddaghter...
So...i write <b>DO NOT DISTURB</b> on my etch-a-sketch and hang the etch-a-sketch on the door of my den...
well....as i was in the midst of my practice....in walks DW, PrincessAriel & DD WishngStar - fresh from Easter shopping.......no knock, just walk in....
anyway, i start to ask if they read the sign when DW says "What did you do?"
to buy time while I rehashed the list of what i did do, I said "Huh?"
She responded there were cops all over the neighborhood ...
hmmm...that narrows my search....
i was about halfway through that list when there was a knock on the door...the front door...the door that doesn't have a "DO NOT DISTURB" etch-a-sketch message..
well anyways, DW says.."aren't you going to answer that?"
"Nope" was my reply...
...i get up...i lead the 2 of them to the den door. .....and I read aloud.."....D O.....N O T..D I S T U R B"
well...there is another knock...and with an eye-roll...WishingStar goes and answers the door...leaving her Mom standing there shaking her head while I underlined "DO NOT DISTURB" on the etch-a-sketch...
seems all the cops wanted was to inform everybody that there had been an accident down the street and that we should be on the lookout for ferrets that had escaped because of the accident...and we were to call the proper authorities if any were spotted...
since it was clear I was in the clear, I went back to my Haunted Mansion Clue game practice...
after WishingStar left, I took another etch-a-sketch and wrote "INNOCENT TIL PROVEN GUILTY" (in cursive, mind you) and placed the etch-a-sketch where PrincessAriel is sure to find it...
all in all...a pleasant evening....
how was your day?
