Curious little monkey!

Okay, so this is a funny story, at least I think so. I know some family members have heard it, but along with the story I have posted some pictures to give you a better idea of what was going on.

A few months back I was having the most difficult time finding any bobby pins. Which came as quite a surprise to me as I had just taken half of a new set off the card and put them in my "hair-thing" cup. I use them to pin back my bangs and such when wearing various hairstyles. At night I would take them out and put them on my nightstand (sleeping in bobby pins isn't the most comfortable thing). One day I noticed Luke was playing over by an open cable jack. It has a plastic plate over it, but there is no cable actually attached leaving a small hole. I didn't really think much of it. There is no electricity running to it, and all other outlets have the plastic safety plugs in them...therefore, I went along my merry little way...the boy was entertained. :) Then, on another occasion, Luke went over to my nightstand, grabbed a bobby pin and headed straight for the little hole in the wall where he gleefully slipped the bobby pin inside! Huh! I thought...I wonder how many are in there. Being busy at the moment, I didn't take the time to check. A couple of months went by. Then one day we were getting ready for a trip to Utah so I was cleaning house. Luke was, once again, playing over by the hole in the wall. This time, I went and found a screw driver to take off the plate and see what treasures he had placed in there. When I took off the plate I just started to laugh! Bobby pins! A whole lot of bobby pins! Along with a crayon and a bit to our changeable screwdriver. I emptied everything out and took the bobby pins to the kitchen counter where I laughed even harder to find there were 27 bobby pins hiding in that little hole in the wall. 27 BOBBY PINS!!! Over half the amount that comes on a new card. No wonder I couldn't find any! Needless to say, I no longer put my bobby pins on the nightstand at night! What a curious little monkey! :)
