Ghosts in my house?

"I know I just put those keys there!"

We as parents have all said that about keys or any kind of object many times. I know I have!

The other day I was preparing breakfast. I left my spoon on the table to get the milk from the fridge. I come back into the dining area, and the spoon was gone. I know I have momnesia, but it's not that bad I hoped. And then I suspected, erm, trickster ghosts for a moment and then I just called myself crazy and went to get another spoon. A week later I find a lake of spoons under the couch. Who did this?

Late at night, I hear people walking around my house. Me being the fraidy cat I am sit in the bed and say a silent prayer to myself hoping that I am actually crazy and hearing things. What was it?

You know who it was! The children. They're sneaky little cuties. My eldest is not so covert, my daughter usually hides in another room to eat cookies or play with something she isn't supposed. My youngest, who is 1, is the sneakiest. We call him Ninja Baby. His swiftness is down right frightening. I can be looking at him, playing Patty Cake with him, but somehow he successfully steals something from right under my nose. It is quite impressive and I hope to somehow teach him to use his powers for good in the future!

And at least I'm not going crazy.............yet
