My mother (who is undeniably anything but sane anyway) has been known to randomly play with and steal gloves or try to insist I need them (Um, I can get all the gloves I want from my home infusion company but. Uh... Thanks for thinking of me?). She doesn't handle any amount of wait time. Give her 30sevonds and she's opening cupboards and whatever she can in doctor's offices too... But she'd probably steal Ed, not the sponge. :P and you'd need to open up a new box of gloves. <br /><br />That stuff is genetic or something, my 92 year old grandmother is the type to load her purse with sugar packets, dinner rolls, etc. And my grandmother... Yikes she WOULD take that sponge and she WOULD use it in the kitchen or to clean with but she might scrub down your office first because despite being 92 she flat out loves cleaning...<br /><br />With all that said, I'm no longer scratching my head on who would steal a sponge and thinking an anonymous comment is in order... ;) <br /><br />BTW, can we see a picture of Ed? Once you get a new sponge and clean off the tank, that is.

As if it needed to be with someone or something other than a grumpy-looking fish, or in any other place than an office that doesn't even invite kids or people interested in blue sponges. <br /><br />It was getting a little worn around the edges. Natural sponges don't wear as well as plastic-derived. <br /><br />That little blue sponge looked like it deserved more. More life. Less boring. More excitement. A chance to really be something, go places, do things. <br /><br />Yes, I took it. By gum. I did take it. And, I would take it again if it was there all alone and pathetic collecting nasty fish germs and whatever else comes into a doctor's office. Blue sponge liberator. If I'm no one in this world, they can call me that in the next. No, I guess I'm not sorry. Put the cost of replacement on my bill, but it make it an orange one this time.

Some people just have a compulsion to take things, it doesn't matter what it is or if it has any value or use to the thief. For example, we used to keep busting an old man who would always steal one earring off an earring display case (always just one earring, never a pair). When you would ask him why, he would tell you he had no idea why he kept doing it. He didn't wear them, didn't give them to anyone else to wear, just threw them in a drawer at home.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5883634615775822475.post-60624012577440932762012-10-31T16:40:09.823-04:002012-10-31T16:40:09.823-04:00A mind-numbing WTF.
