My downfall?March 28th, 2006 @ 8:00 am
Isabel: Where is my Hostess Fruit Pie? It’s not in the cupboard.
The King: Yes it is. I just saw it there yesterday.
Isabel: No it isn’t. I looked this morning and again tonight. It’s not there.
The King: Yes it is. Unless you ate it and forgot. Or maybe Preston ate it. You’d better look again.
Just to appease him, I look in the cupboard, again. I don’t see the fruit pie.
Isabel: It’s not there. I told you!
The King: Yes it is. LOOK AGAIN!
I look in the cupboard. But this time I look behind the bottle of balsamic vinegar. And there sits my fruit pie.
The King: I don’t hear anything over there. You must have found it behind something. Am I right?
Isabel: (Sheepishly) Yes, it was behind the vinegar. Just like you said.
The King walks into the kitchen.
The King: You are a nitwhit. And a bad searcher.
Isabel: A bad “searcher”?
The King: You would be so worthless in a Treasure Hunt. You would just look around and say, “no treasure here” and we would never find the gold.
Isabel: Right, that’s one of my weaknesses. I’m a bad searcher.

Well, if THAT’S all you have to worry ’bout, you’re probably okay!

Those things? Are awful. Put it back behind the vinegar and go get yourself a nice cookie.

Haha, you and my kids.
You must have really wanted a fruit pie.

LOL That is like the reverse of me and my husband. He will ask “Have you seen my-” and I will interrupt and say “It’s in the office next to the computer.” Or where ever it is. And I am right, of course. And he always wonders how I know exactly what he is looking for. I’ll tell you. Because I am a genius.

see? he apologized, even though I laughed about it. Does that make me mean? His response about you not being able to find treasure was funny.

I’m a bad searcher too. Isn’t it just easier to ask someone who knows where it is anyway? Maybe I’m not so much a bad searcher as I am lazy.

I take it you didn’t go to “searcher school.” Shame on you!

I’m a bad searcher too… But so is my boyfriend… I think we take turns at it.
I’m just kinda ditzy, and he is like the other half of my brain when I can’t think straight. Even though he’ll make fun of my ditzy~ness first.

Isabel, what are you going to do? I mean, there are treasure hunts EVERY SINGLE DAY! How are you going to survive if you’re a terrible searcher???

I remember when we were kids and something would get lost and my mother would announce that no one was ever doing anything again in their whole lives but looking for the lost object until it was found. She meant it, too.
Now, I’m a bad searcher, but mostly because I refuse to look.

But you appear to do the whole “glowing pregnant mother” thing very well, so there.

Just wait until the baby comes and you know where every single thing of his is, even when it’s not where it should be.
The King: Where are the diapers?
Isabel: Did you LOOK under the kitchen sink? Duh!
The King: Tha hell?

Oooh, it’s kinda like the DaVinci Code only with fruit pies instead of, well, whatever it was they were looking for. I forget.

At least he didn’t say “If I have to come in there and I find it- I get to hit you”. That is what I always tell my husband who is also a bad searcher!

The bigger question is what kind of a FINDER are you?
Hope you are well. I keep expecting to stop in and find that you’ve gone into labor. Not long now!
