Sometimes the posts just write themselves.

Last night, I precariously added something to the house of cards that is our overflowing recycling. Since I’ve got my bloggles securely fastened these days, I decided to take a picture of it. I wasn’t sure what I was going to say, but I decided to snap a picture anyway. Everyone has one of these right?
In our house, taking out the recycling is SB’s job. As with most things related to tidiness, SB’s threshold is much higher than mine. Which is why the scene that unfolded was so hilarious, when he walked into the kitchen and found me kneeling in front of the recycling.
Him: What are you taking a picture of?
Me. [snickering] Uh, nothing.
SB then goes over there and INVESTIGATES THE AREA, then turns to me and says,
Him: Now I’m really curious!
Me: [further laughing at his expense, retreating to office to jot down this exchange.]
Ladies and gentlemen, even when his attention is drawn to it, he still doesn’t see it. Good thing he’s so cute.

Yeah, this is Danny’s chore, too. And after taking out an especially hugely piled-high overflowing bin recently, he says to me, “You should let me know when it’s getting full so I can take it out before it gets this bad.” Excuse me?!? WFT?? Like he doesn’t also put shit into it, doesn’t also walk past it every time he goes to the fridge? Like I have some magical full-recycle-bin beholding powers. Maybe when the bin is too full to put your beer bottles in and you have to start piling them on the counter, THEN would be a good time to take it out… :^)
