The One Blanche Wanted

So my sister, who some of you may know as Atticus Sampson (the movie quote queen- that's a bit of an overstatement) has demanded that I write a new entry for my blog. So I've been wondering what I should write, and I asked myself over and over again.

Then fortune smiled on me, when Mum was drinking her wine. Now I have an annoying habit of stealing my mothers wine and hiding it from her, and she has to find it with the few hints that I give her. Todays little event was most humurous.

I did it twice today, the first being ruined by my brother (we shall call him Babette) who found it for her and then mocked me for my actions. Anyway, I did it again whilst she was playing one of her computer games and hid it in Babette's room. It was about an hour and a half before she realised that it was missing.

She called me the usual names, which I'm quite fond of now, and I reminded her that it was her fault because I was a planned pregnancy. Moving on, I give her her first hint, which was Z, Z, Z. Wondering what it meant, she did.

Mum started running through all of the rooms looking for it, and I just laughed. She wanted another hint, and I think I snored (like the thing people do when they're sleeping). She took it to heart, and went through the rooms again. Didn't find it.

In the end I just started messing with her mind. Once was when we we're in the livingroom, and she said "hot or cold". I said, "Yes Mum, the lava lamp is hot, and the Coca-Cola bottle lamp that's filled with water is cold". She didn't like that, but eventually she made it to Babette's room, for the third time.

She took a long hard look, and still couldn't find it. I then tell her to close her eyes, and I start spinning her around on the spot. After a minute I stop her and she finally finds her wine. Oh how I laughed, and oh how she wanted to throw something at me. Well done anyway Mum.

PS. For my good friend Big Ross, the Greatest Garden Gnome who ever lived who sadly passed away this year, what do you think. You may not be able to annoy Mum anymore, but you should know that I'm still here to continue your work. Rest In Peace.
