Check That Door Again....It Might Be Locked

     I came home after work, put my key in the dead bolt that wasn't engaged.  When I placed my key in the handset I found that it too was not locked.  Ma makes at least 20 trips to the door every day and night and whatever the position of the locks she reverses them.  Some times the door is not locked at all, sometimes it is half locked, and sometimes she gets it right.  I know when she is particularly agitated because she puts a kitchen chair in front of the door so, I would guess, she could pretend to hear it when that dastardly old man tries to come in and sit at the table.

     There is a light switch by the entry door that turns on a wall light above the kitchen table.  Often when I try the switch the light does not come on.  I replaced a perfectly good bulb and the light still didn't work.  I began to suspect what I found to be true, that was that Ma crawled over the kitchen furniture to turn the light off at the fixture.  The logic baffles me, why would you climb over furniture to turn off a fixture that has a wall switch in plain sight.

    The TP core collection grows faster than I can throw them out.   What is she saving them for, I am afraid of the answer for that one.  I left for work having seven full 1000 sheet rolls in the closet and returned to find 6 cores and 1 roll.  Certainly better than 7 cores and 0 rolls.  What the heck is she doing with that paper.  I am afraid to ask.
