Day 31: HOW???

Come on, moms and dads. You know that you say this word in the most awkward and unexpected contexts imaginable on a DAILY BASIS.

HOW??? How did that happen? How did you do that? How did....??? HOWWW??

I find myself saying this word more times than I care to admit. So I decided to make something fun of it. Every Friday, I will post on Twitter my #MomHow of the week. I'd love for y'all to join in! Just comment your how of the week using #MomHow (or #DadHow) and lets have some fun!

To start with, here's my big how of the week.

GHOST SLIME!!! Yes, the lovely toy in the picture above that captured your attention and led you to this post, is my HOW of the week!

My kids got this toy from our cousin after they went over to her house to play with her little boy. He had this, and they LOVED it. SO she bought one for each of them! (Thaaaanks, Brandi... :D)

The boys are obsessed with Ghostbusters right now, and used this as their "Ghost Slime" when they played make believe as the Ghostbusters. Cute right??

NO.

An entire blob of this ridiculous shit went missing. THE WHOLE THING.

HOW???? How does one lose a blob of slime??

Here's how it went down.

Andy: "Mommy, I can't find the Ghost Slime!"

Me: *Pointing at closed container* "It's right there, bud."

Andy: "But it's empty!!"

Me: "What?? How??"

Andy: "I guess we lost it..."

Me: "Well where were y'all when you were playing with it?"

Kids: "I don't know."

Me: "When were you playing with it??"

Kids: "I don't know."

Me: "Who was the last one to play with it??"

Kids: "I don't know."

Me: "HOW do you lose a blob of slime??"

Kids: "I don't know..."

HOOOOWWWW????????????

The gelatinous ball of Flubber must have magically come alive and took off, just like on the movie! Surely since then, it has been causing all kinds of mischief in the streets of our neighborhood while I idiotically search my home high and low in hopes that the dog didn't eat it, oblivious to it's shenanigans.

NOTHING ELSE MAKES SENSE. HOW????

Other hows this week:

HOW does it happen that on the day that I mop and scrub the floors of the entire house, the kids both spill full cups of juice on the floor, and the dog pisses a lake THREE TIMES, all in less than 2 hours?? HOW??

HOWWW is it that every 30 minutes, when I look up from whatever task I am busying myself with, there are fluffs of cottony fuzz ALL OVER MY HOUSE??? After I have already thrown away ALL toys of the puppy's that have fuzz in them. And there is nothing chewed up to be found anywhere? HOW IS IT SNOWING FUZZ BALLS IN MY HOUSE??? HOW?!?!?!?!

HOW does the ONE piece of paper that I NEED in order to begin subbing at the school, goes missing? When I have ALL of the papers in one place, and they have NOT MOVED from that place since I received them at my date of hire?? ALL of the papers that I received are still there, in the same spot, except the one that I absolutely NEED! HOW?????

GUYS!! HOW???

Positive Vibes!!! POSITIVE ONES, DAMMIT!!
