My sister used to stash dishes in her room. My parents once on a search for contraband found a remarkable number of dishes and glasses.

I had no college roommates (had to commute to a local school because I wasn’t getting enough in scholarships) but I suppose I should at least apologize to my mom. She was our cleaning lady at home (no hired help for us and I was the third of five)

Dearest Mom,

Although you have been gone several years, I would like to apologize for the worst thing I ever hid from you-the lamb’s tail. Thank you so much for not giving me the punishment I truly deserved, and simply letting me know not to do it again.

Much Love, Your Daughter, ME
(Yes, it was a real lamb’s tail, gotten a friend sheep ranch when I was @7 and put in a plastic bag (pre-ziplock!)-Why? I have no idea except pack rat tendency were already present.)

“…Apology accepted. Just glad you never “hid” anything under my bed…the dishes were bad enough!…..”

Anyone look under the bed for those “decluttered” boyfriends?

LOL!

I’m intrigued by your squirrel-like technique of hiding things under beds…

So… you DID declutter boyfriends during these years! Everyone has to start somewhere!

My apology letter should be to my mother for leaving 10 years’ worth of National Geographics in her attic and moving 6 states away.
