I'm Lauren, and I'm an Enabler

When I got home from setting up my classroom I was treated to an unsupervised scavenger hunt. It wasn’t given an official title, but something along the lines of “what did Steph accomplish today?” would have been appropriate.

The Kitchen:

(Look at how she balanced the scissors on the sink. Skill like that is hard to come by. Whether it was laziness or sheer talent, I concluded she had been to Target and had been cutting some price tags.)

(I then turned about 110 degrees counterclockwise for my 2nd clue. A fiber 1 brownie wrapper. Lots of conclusions can be made. After cutting tags perhaps she became so famished she needed a snack to go on. The fact she chose a fiber filled treat makes me think she’s desperate to be more regular. Somebody is looking to get some Activia or raisins in their stocking this year.)

The Laundry Room:

(I thought she had prematurely ended my fun until I stumbled upon clue #3. I’ve come to learn that lint resting upon the dryer is a pretty standard I’m pretty perceptive, and was able to conclude she had recently done her laundry. I’d like to note there’s a garbage less than 10 feet away, but making that effort would be an erroneous request on my part so I keep my silence.)

The Bathroom:

(Finally, we end our journey in the bathroom. Here lies a bag filled with trash gently resting on our actual trash can. She had been shopping today!)

Her scavenger hunts of trash are daily occurrences. I’ve decided not to fight it, anymore and approach it like a game. Da$% Sesame Street. I’m waiting on confirmation from mom, but I’m confident she fears garbages because of Oscar the Grouch.
