"Not Me" Strikes Again!

Tip for getting ink out of your dryer after "NOT ME" causes a blue explosion.

Thursday I noticed blue ink all over inside my dryer.  Of course, when I asked who did it, they all replied “NOT ME.”

I was worried that from now on everything we own would be covered in blue ink so I set out to tackle the blue and evict it from my dryer.  I took two white towels and dipped them in a mixture of water and bleach, wrung them out a little and threw them in my dryer for 40 minutes, praying it would work. Forty minutes…..the ink was gone without a trace!  Mom saved the day again!

Our mini crisis was over and my family convinced me that it was “NOT ME” who put a pen in the dryer and let it explode all over.

Now, I know I have a lot of kids, but I don’t recall naming one “NOT ME.”  Who invited “NOT ME” to live here and why on earth does “NOT ME” cause so many problems? 

Wednesday “NOT ME” left the freezer door open overnight and it is always “NOT ME” who uses the last of the toilet paper and can’t put a new one on.  “NOT ME” seems to be the culprit in our house when things go wrong, and I’ve had enough of his/her shenanigans to last me a lifetime!

The name “NOT ME” seems to be very popular since we all apparently have one living in our homes.  Amazing how none of us have ever met “NOT ME” but he/she runs rampant in all of our homes. I’m convinced that “NOT ME” is a sneaky one who lurks when the coast is clear.

So tell me …what has your “NOT ME” been doing to cause chaos in your homes?  And for God’s sake….if any of you know how to catch “NOT ME,” please share.
