The “Movers of Arabio” who came yesterday were very efficient … and very thorough. We’ve only just begun to realize how very thorough they were.

Lady Herndon: “Could you put Princess in her high chair for dinner? The tray is in the dish rack.”
Lord Herndon: “Sure.” [pause]
Lady Herndon: “Didn’t we leave it in the Don’t Take This Stuff corner?”
Lord Herndon: “Yes …”

Lord Herndon: “Let’s put the car seats into the huge green duffel to make sure they will fit for the flight.”
Lady Herndon: “Okay.”
Lord Herndon: “I put it in the Don’t Take This Stuff closet.”
Lady Herndon: “Oh. That closet is empty.”

Lady Herndon (to herself): I want to make muffins for breakfast. Let me find that measuring cup that was here when we moved in. [pause]

Lady Herndon: “I have my quiet time Bible and journal in our room. Want to get yours so we can do an Ephesians study?”
Lord Herndon: “Yep. I’ll be right back. I put it in the Don’t Take This Stuff bookcase in the living room.” [pause]

So, Princess is sitting on her plastic potty (never been used) at the table, Lord Herndon is doing his quiet time with a travel Bible and a notebook, we are stuffing the car seats into a broken bag that we had planned to give away, and I am making muffins by measuring oil and milk in a bottle.
By now, it’s just funny.
