Misuse of Objects

Please excuse the wonky things my blog is doing. I don't know how my sidebar ended up under my posts, but I'll try to figure out how to fix it.

Okay, onto today's post.

Do you have any idea what this is?







I don't either. Here's another view.




What I do know is that it isn't the proper use of a tennis racquet and it isn't the proper use of a dog biscuit. Around my house it's called Misuse of Objects. I find them all over the place. Or see them being played with all over the place. When my children take an object and don't use it in the manner for which it was intended...I go crazy. Well, usually, but this time with the tennis racquet, I just shook my head.

Sometimes, it's a game piece being thrown like a Frisbee. Or whatever...
I'm not talking about the blankets and chairs being made into a fort. That's not Misuse of Objects. It has to be something that is going to result in a lost or broken item or an injury if it is continuously used that way.

But, the tennis racquet...? I hope this thinking will parlay into a creative, lucrative career.

Do your children ever have these moments or is it just mine?

Lol! Girl, our kids should NEVER get together! I find spoons tied to blind cords, things nailed to the wall in random places, CRAZY stuff! My one eyebrow is tired from being quirked so much :).
