The Ghost

A few weeks ago we had our second 'strange' event in our saga with our supposed ghost.

For some reason every single one of Cash's nooks end up in his crib upstairs.  So whenever you are rocking him and he finishes his bottle and just needs a little more and you reach for the nook that you thought was on the end table . . . you realize it's upstairs and by then Cash is growing frustrated because he's out of milk and you've blown your chance for him to take a nap.  It happens at least once a day to me.

To prevent this, I set Cash in his bouncer and marched upstairs to grab them.  There were three in his crib!

I set them on Kristie's dresser.  Since I'm a total random-abstract person, instead of taking the nooks downstairs, I began doing something else.  In the middle of this something else - it might have been making the bed, handing up clothes, or picking up Kenzie's room - I don't remember - Cash grew tired of his bouncer and began to scream bloody murder.

I dashed downstairs and began rocking him again.  Kenzie - in the meantime - was all over.  She was downstairs playing diner.  She was upstairs hopping in her bed and playing with her Light Bright set.  She was in the living room watching Scooby-Doo and the Witch's Ghost.  I was finally able to rock Cash to sleep - minus a nook, the majority of which were still upstairs.

Gently I carried him upstairs to his crib.  That's when I was stopped cold.  In his crib, in a perfect triangle, were his three nooks.

I had left them on Kristie's dresser.  Yet, here they were.  It was like the running water faucet incident all over again.

So I scooped them up and laid Cash down.

My rationale mind stated, Oh, Kenzie must have put them there when she was playing upstairs.

She admitted to it when I asked her.  But she also admitted to letting Kozy out, vacuuming, and giving Micsha a bath.

Kenz could have done it, but the trouble with that reasonable explanation is that the crib is really Cash's play pen.  It doesn't have a really firm mattress.  So if Kenzie would have hopped in there and set the nooks down and hopped back out, they likely would not have been left in a perfect triangle.  She could have tossed them in there, I guess, but what are the odds that they'd land in the form of a perfect triangle?

I'm still not convinced, but it makes for some interesting blogging at least.

Math major here. I just had to point out that any three points create a triangle.[/nitpick]

Good point. I believe it appeared to be an equilateral triangle in the middle of the crib.
