My eyes deceive me
I encountered something interesting in Data’s room the other night.
Photo in B&W, cause no one needs to see the details of his litter box in color
Next to his litter box was something small, brown, and squiggly.
Ew. I had three immediate thoughts:
- What is that?! IS THAT A WORM?!
- I hope Data is not sick!
- Maybe I should leave that for Steven to find?! (then, nah, he just cleaned up Sunday’s mess…)
I was brave. I grabbed a paper towel, bent over, trying not to look at it, and grabbed it. I slowly opened the paper towel and peeked inside…
Wait! That’s not a worm!
Any idea what that is?
It took me a second…
It’s Mater‘s hook and tow line! Ha ha ha.
Luca kept saying that his Mater was broken when he was here. I didn’t realize that piece had fallen off! How it got in there (and just now showed up?!) I have no idea. But I put it inside the one sock Luca left behind so I can give it back to him.
So, phew. Data is fine.
My eyes? Not so much.
Themocracy
I am forever finding little toy bits; between the kids and the cats, stuff gets batted around. It’s not your eyes – these things blend so oddly into the floor!
ha! looked like a worm to me.
OMG I would have thought worm too and then my mind would go to CB having worms. Ick! (He had worms when I got him. It was so gross)
Happy Mater will have his hook back!
I will NEVER forget the time one of our childhood (outdoor) cats had worms. THAT IMAGE WON’T LEAVE MY MIND! LOL
Ewwww Data’s got worms!!!!!!! Haha that would have freaked me out too.
I had to rescue Kevin from a giant spider in our dishwasher last night. Later, when I sat down on the couch I thought it was coming back to seek revenge, but it was just a black thread on my blanket. It had me jumpy for a second though!
HA! Now you should leave little black threads around the house to see if you can freak Kevin out!
Today I had the opposite happen! I saw something on the rub in the bathroom and assumed it was a fuzz ball or something so I picked it up and threw in in the trash. NOPE! It was a live bug. In my defense, I didn’t have my glasses on since I was getting out of the shower.
Ha! Just a little friendly bug, welcoming you to your new place 🙂
I was all, like, why do you have a Mater.
I would have left it for Mark but that’s because the last time Denali pooped on the floor, I was the one who discovered it – with my foot.
Thank god it wasn’t a worm!
Even looking at the close-up I thought it was a worm. Phew! That would have totally skeeved me out! So happy Data is ok. From the looks of that picture, he is more than ok 🙂
Mater’s injury is not repairable 🙁 Luca may either need a new Mater or be OK with a tow truck without a tow hook. It happens to the best of us!
Phew! Happy it’s not a worm!
It’s not Yoda’a cane??
Ha ha. Nope! But man, those action figures and all those pieces would make it really easy to lose one!
ok did you really take a picture before? or did you put it back and take a picture, because I would really not think to take a before picture
OH I am also giving away a race entry..come check it out
No, I took a photo a few days later of the toy on the ground 🙂
I was really creeped out by this! I don’t know what I thought it was going to turn out to be.
Muah ha ha. Gotcha!
Oh – phew – you scared me!
Ha! I recognize that hook!
Is yours still attached?
I laughed when you mention Data’s room. I was thinking “Wait, the cat has his own room”?
Glad it was not a worm or anything weird.
LOL! I have also found that particular piece of toy on my floor. Silly Mater. =)
Ahhh, totally thought that was a worm too! This reminds me of a time I was walking Bodger in a field that had just been burned off, and I found a little squiggly thing on the ground. I picked it up, thinking it was a strange stick, but OMG, it was a CHARRED-TO-DEATH snake. Ahhhhh, it was so gross, all burned up (and I’m not afraid of live snakes at all). I still have nightmares about it.
BUAH HA HA! I love that you picked it up… I totally would have too 😉
