Living in Bizarro World.

[youthere]

I swear that our recent "spring forward" tore a huge hole in the Time-Space continuem and landed my family squarely in "Bizzarro World".
First: My husband, who not only "doesn't cook" but barely manages to "reheat", cooked dinner last night. In nearly twenty years of marriage that has happened only about 8 times.

Second: My son came home Saturday morning from spending the night at a friend's house. Not only did he take his backpack and pillow directly to his room (rather than placing them strategically on the stairwell in an effort to induce a bone-breaking fall) he put his dirty clothes in the hamper AND HUNG UP his wet swimsuit and towel.

Thirdly: My youngest daughter (the real-life version of Pig-pen) cleaned her bedroom Sunday, without being told. SHE EVEN CLEANED UNDER HER BED. AND she made her bed this morning after she got up.

Fourthly: My oldest daughter, the female version of Felix Unger-in other words, totally anal, has left her bedroom in total shambles (at least by her standards) today. 2 books on the floor AND she put her "math file" in the "music file" slot (*gasp*). She left socks mixed in with her underwear. She had a blue ink pen in the same cup with her black ink pens on her desk. Her bed was NOT made this morning.

Fifth: My son who normally appears downstairs a minimum of 45 minutes before his sisters appear, was the last one to show for breakfast this morning. In his defense, he brushed his teeth without being told though.

And finally, my husband, after taking his shower this morning, not only hung up his damp towel, but he put his pajamas IN the hamper rather than next to.

Who are these people, and what have they done with my family?

1. Do you have a gas leak? n/t

[youthere]

2. Makes you wonder, doesn't it?

[mainegreen]

3. Oh, that's easy. Your family has been replaced with robots.

Don't let on you know, though, otherwise they'll replace you as well.

4. Swing with it while it lasts

Could be entertaining. :popcorn:

[youthere]

9. I figured I'd just ride it out and see where it takes me.

[kedrys]

20. As long as they're nice...

I don't see a problem, do you? :rofl:

[skygazer]

5. Pod people

I've heard of it but never seen it in action. Wow.

[youthere]

10. I always thought it was a myth.

6. Impressive

Can you send some of that bizarro mojo this way? I was just thinking how DH hasn't cooked dinner or done the dishes in ages, though he used to--in another lifetime, it seems--gee I'd like to see that happen again.

Oh--and do you think sleepless toddler MG Jr. would sleep through the night JUST ONCE if I got some of that bizarro mojo?

[youthere]

11. Mojo en route.

[MorningGlow]

17. Thanks!

I'll let you know when it hits here.

[unpossibles]

[youthere]

14. I was thinking maybe I was dying and everyone knew but me.

[sakabatou]

15. Pod people?

16. Something is afoot.

Be vewy vewy careful.

[youthere]

18. I think they know something I don't ...I wonder how much time I have left.

[trof]

19. Just keep your wits about you and above all...

DON'T PANIC !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
