About Nobody You know.

[ErikaRobin]

Right now I have on the desk in front of me, a headless Barbie and a shoe with no mate, miscellaneous papers and a Wii nunchuck.  I used to wonder who was to blame for these (and other) things.

Who left the toilet seat up?  Who put an empty milk carton back into the refrigerator?  Who got toys out and "forgot" to put them away?  Who spilled applesauce on the carpet?  Who gave the cat a haircut?  Who colored the piano keys orange?  Who peed in the hallway?  Who put the "Bop" in the "Bop-she-bop-she-bop"?

Well, who? 

The answer was clear.

 

Nobody.   

 

Well, that makes sense.   Nobody is responsible for it all.  Nobody makes the messes.  That elusive pest of a non-person, comes in while we sleep and marks her territory in my home.   Nobody leaves her crap all over my living room and a trail of dirty clothes up (or is it down) the stairs.   Nobody irks the hell out of me.   

 

I do think it's funny and a little bit sad how Nobody seems to have time to sift the litter boxes and do the dishes (the quality of her work is...less than thorough) and take the laundry downstairs and make the beds.  Nobody has homework to do, too?  Wow!  Really?  That just seems so unfair!    

 

Maybe someday Nobody will cook dinner or drive the kids to school.

I couldn't help but recall the old poem by Shel Silverstein when I read this.

Nobody loves me,

Nobody cares,

Nobody picks me peaches and pears.

Nobody offers me candy and Cokes,

Nobody listens and laughs at me jokes.

Nobody helps when I get in a fight,

Nobody does all my homework at night.

Nobody misses me,

Nobody cries,

Nobody thinks I'm a wonderful guy.

So if you ask me who's my best friend, in a whiz,

I'll stand up and tell you that Nobody is.

But yesterday night I got quite a scare,

I woke up and Nobody just wasn't there.

I called out and reached out for Nobody's hand,

In the darkness where Nobody usually stands.

Then I poked through the house, in each cranny and nook,

But I found somebody each place that I looked.

I searched till I'm tired, and now with the dawn,

There's no doubt about it-

Nobody's gone!

-Shel Silverstein

So I'm assuming that this is the same person who put the "Ram" in "Rama-lama-ding-dong", correct? :)

Didn't you kow that "Nobody", "Wasntme" and "Idontknow" are your invisible triplets? I'm not sure exactly when they become your children. For some they are stepchildren that come along when they first marry. For others they come sometime between your first child durig the infant-toddler transition. Once your kids are school-age though the triplets are a force of their own in your home.

LOL!  Probably.  She's been accused of putting a Dip and a Do-Wop in there too.
