I wanna roll a marble down it.
True story: I had a 5 year old foster kiddo who wanted to be a ninja for Halloween one year. She wore her costume every day for two weeks, leading up to Halloween. One day her older sister said, “I don’t know why you insist on wearing that stupid costume. You’re not a real ninja.” To which she replied, “Did you see that crazy ninja move?” [News flash… there was no move. She remained completely still.] And her sister indignantly said, “What move?!” The 5 year old ninja responded, “Exactly. Because I’m a ninja!” And I still think about the genius in that child even though she’s in college now.

LOL! Facts!
Once, I lost my ex-hubby in Cabella’s (a giant outdoorsy type store… hunting stuff, fishing stuff, camping stuff, they even sell boats). I was so frustrated when I couldn’t find him. He had a tendency to buy weird stuff we totally didn’t need. Then it dawned on me… Ah! This must be how he feels when he loses me in IKEA!!! Side note: I found him at the registers paying $350 for a legit deli quality meat slicer. :/ It took up more space on our countertops than the stove top did. Now, ask me if he ever used it… once, sort of… he sliced the pad off three fingers. He hadn’t even put any food on it yet. :/

IKEA in the US has mashed potatoes. Meatballs, potatoes, sauce on everything! My absolute fave. Once, they were out of meatballs. The next time, they were out of mashed potatoes. I felt like I was back in Germany eating meatballs with French fries. It’s just not the same. :/
