Tell me readers, do you have a ghost in your house called "Not ME!"? We do! Strange things have been happening in the Moore house and it all points to "Not Me". This is a very smart ghost. He shows up practically every day. Let me give you some examples. Perhaps you have this same ghost or his cousin dwelling in or near your home.

1. Hey! Who left all the lights on in the house? - "Not ME!"
2. Who squirted toothpaste in the sink? - "Not ME!"
3. Who left this little bit of milk, tea or juice in the refrigerator? - "Not ME!"
4. Who spilled the dip on the floor and didn't clean it up? - "Not ME!"
5. Who took the remote control and didn't put it back? - "Not ME!"
6. Who left the bathtub faucet dripping? - "Not ME!"
7. Who pissed all over the rim of the toilet and didn't clean it up? - "Not ME!"

Sound familiar? Most of the time, I blame it on the kids. Every once in a while, I get to blame it on the husband. Sometimes I think that I could write a Goosebumps episode with the way strange things happen around my house. The thing about it, is that it's always the same person (Not Me) doing it. If I ever catch him, he's in big trouble.

So what is the solution? Set a trap!

It only took a couple of nights of lost sleep but I caught the ones who were leaving the lights on, squirting toothpaste, leaving a drop of drink in the pitcher, spilling dip on the carpet, hiding the remote control, not tightening the bathtub faucet and pissing all over the toilet rim. IT WAS ALL OF THEM! (The boys).

Well needless to say, ground rules were established and are enforced. The ones who make the mess have to clean it up and do it until it is right. The last one to take a drink and leaves less than a glass in the pitcher has to make a new batch of whatever it was. The toilet bandit has to scrub the whole bathroom until it smells Spring Fresh! Well, it's been a while since I have seen or heard from our ghost "Not Me!". Good Riddance!
