Two mysteries...

Two weeks ago I was giving Julian a bath when suddenly I heard a loud BOOM. I heard cracking overhead, looked up and saw that the skylight over the bathtub had completely shattered. Luckily it was safety glass, so it stayed intact and didn't rain down on my child's naked BODY, but still!

I ran outside to see what might have caused it. Nothing. No branch falling, no kids playing ball. We had the contractor working on our backyard go up there to take out the broken glass and replace it and he said he didn't find anything either. No dead bird, no ball, no branch. So it remains a mystery.

Yesterday, the second mystery. I took Julian and Adrian to the playground to hang out with friends in the morning, and when we got home there were these weird Microsoft Navigator menu windows up on my laptop. I thought maybe I had a virus, or someone was accessing my machine remotely, but then I saw that the "e" key was missing from my keyboard! Like someone had pried it off with a butter knife or something...very bizarre. And of course it has to be the MOST commonly used letter. Of course.

Julian might have pushed some buttons, but he knows better than to pry keys off my keyboard. Besides, I asked him and he said he didn't do it, and he's not yet at the age where he knows how to lie about that stuff to avoid getting in trouble.

The only thing that I could imagine was that Bugs had gotten up on the counter and stepped on my keyboard, then gotten his claw stuck and pulled the key cap off. But then it should be right next to the laptop, and I couldn't find it anywhere. Today I found it all the way across the room under the table.

Utterly bizarre.
