Friday night we had my sister over to stay the night. Due to some bond she thinks we share, she actually had the gall to ask me go get up at 4:30am on Saturday and haul her to the airport so she could start her vacation! So Friday night we drove out to her house, picked her up, and actually brought her over! We felt this would be a good test of the guest bedroom, to see if it could actually handle a difficult guest. So this is what I was subjected to, the next morning, on the way to the airport (at the butt crack of dawn I might add)!
1) There is no tissue in the room, "What if someone wanted to blow their nose? "
2) I had to move the (ticking) antique clock into the bathroom, as I could not fall asleep.
3) "The pillow was too fat! So I slept without a pillow."
4) Found a millipede in the bathroom!
Since her departure we took the time during the thorough room disinfecting and deodorizing process to rectify the 'tissue issue'. The clock thing we get, but after a great amount of discussion we decided that it just looked too good on the night stand for us worry about how it might effect our guests. Our answer to the pillow thing is this: If the 'Elephant Woman' wants to make it her last night in our house, so be it! In regards to the Millipede 'issue' we have examined the remains and found, using the latest forensic techniques, that the multi-legged creature is not found naturally in the Battle Ground area. At first this was quite a mystery, but after further research we did discover that 'lorinEEveticus wineAlotUs' (Latin name) could be found in abundance in some of the farm homes just north of us in the Fargher Lake area. Conclusion: She brought it with her in her luggage!
So, by now it should be obvious that we care about any and all guests who come for a 'sleep over.'
