@Stephanie – oh yes, “Not me!” I loved that gag from Family Circus comics…

We have mysterious things happen in our house too, quite frequently. We have six kids ranging from 7-22 (gasp!) and have learned we have a seventh entity named, “Not me!”.

@Lisa – I was very glad too that they were so flexible!

@Elisabeth – we still don’t know where the lunch went. I took pictures of it this morning in case it disappears again!

Ack! I am glad the conference was able to adjust the timing of your speech!

And the fact your son opened up a lunchbox and found only an ice pack! I find this absolutely hysterical (I’m sure it was not to him as the recipient of said lunch).

Also ironic – about 30 minutes ago I was reading a non-fiction book where the author spoke about a faulty GPS that caused her to be late for a speech she was delivering. Same thing – they rearranged the other talks.

I guess “All’s well that ends well” as my grandmother used to say.
