Well, Chris got off work early today so that he could go to the Q107 radio station again today to talk with Kim Mitchell and hopefully get tickets to the 30 year reunion concert for Max Webster tomorrow night at the docks.
Before he left we had a mad hunt for a pen of all things.
Have I ever told you that as far as pens go, Chris is a kleptomaniac? If I put a pen out he steals it. It’s not like I can ever find where he’s put these lost pens either because he takes them out of the house, perhaps to work, and promptly loses them! It’s worse than the constant lose of socks in the dryer phenomena that I know many of you are familiar with.
After we found a pen, that I know I’ll never see again, I went searching for a place where I could purchase discount pens. I’m totally buying a carton of pens from this place. By carton I mean crate, like 1000 or more pens. I think if I do that we might actually have some pens to write with for a couple of months before they all magically disappear again.
I do keep a pen on my desk. Chris knows that if he uses it he must put it right back or he’ll suffer. All other pens are free game though it seems!
Now, consider yourself warned.
If you ever get a chance to meet Chris and I, HIDE YOUR PENS! Oh and if you use a lighter for any reason keep it in your pocket because the same thing happens with lighters too.
My 16 year is like this. I buy pens by the box at the office supply store– the cheap kind, while I like a certain kind, and he know this. But, my stash of pens always somehow gets deleted. I don’t know WHAT he does with them. But, today is the last day of school for him, so my pens are safe for a few months again.
