About once a week something strange happens in our house… Food dissapears. 15+ cookies – GONE. A loaf of bread – GONE. A few boxes of cereal – GONE. It often happens while I am gone, usually at a church meeting or something during a few hours in the evening. One of the strangest things is that it usually happens after everyone in the house has eaten a full dinner… I like to call this phenomenon the “J eats everything in the house phenomenon.” It is truly amazing what can disappear during one of these events… and how quickly it is gone. Unfortunately, it often leaves us without anything to eat for breakfast. I see it as a sign that maybe he should start using syrup with calories (although he doesn’t like the taste of real syrup anymore) and stop focusing so much on what he eats… He just kind of pretends it never happened.

On a slightly related – yet unrelated note – I often have interesting little problems with mastering the English language… While thinking about this post I asked J to clarify what the singular vs. plural of phenomenon was… And I made the Freudian slip of asking him about phenomeNOM, not phenomenon… For those who read LOLcats, the nom part was funnily appropriate to the post I was thinking about at the time!
