Hiding Behind My Cushions

If my life continues along it's present course, I may have to make that the title of my blog. 

95% of my new friends have children.  Most of these children are young... and some are very young.  So my house is randomly invaded by small children, including my beloved niece Poopers (age 2.5) and her brother Stevenito (age 1 next week.)  I also have a wierd amount of friends and neighbors with four-year-olds, which is a lot of fun.  Buttttttt the problem is the little guys.  Cuz, being a woman with no children, my house is not exactly childproof. 

Did I mention that I sew and crochet?  Yeah.  This means I have needles, pins, and scissors.  EVERYWHERE. 

So tonight when my friend brought her 2 year old to my house, I found my house running to hide a lot of things.  A LOT of things.  Controllers for the Xbox, breakable picture frames, crafts I've made, etc.   Eventually I learned that the simplest way to deal with this situation was when LittleGuy grabbed a forbidden object, I would grab it from him, distract him, and hide it behind my couch cushion. 

By the end of the night, I had quite the little collection going.  A phone, a controller, scissors, crayons, random crafts,.... and so on and so forth. 

Can you imagine what will happen when we have children?  LOL  I'll have an entire house full of stuff, all hidden behind two couch cushions! 

For a reason beyond my comprehension, this makes me feel very amused.
