"Is that where that goes?"

If I hear this phrase at home, I know for a fact that whatever "that" is, I've left it in the wrong place.

I've recently accumulated a lot of new knowledge: dirty socks don't go on the floor, empty plates don't go on the chair and kittens don't go in the bathtub.

I remember the first time this question was posed to me. I answered, "Yes, that is where that goes." Big mistake, and one I will not repeat.

Whenever this question is asked, an immediate answer and subsequent correction is required. However, I'm never given any other information to solve the dilemma. Once the question is asked, say about the phone's current location on the dryer in the garage, I quickly deduce that, indeed, that's NOT where the phone goes. But where does the phone go?

And every time I think I've learned where everything goes, I'm always surprised by something new. For example, soda cans are not to be left on the bathroom sink, and scissors are not to be stored in the area of the couch where Deborah sits.

Each day brings an exciting new fact for me to learn! I can't wait to see what tomorrow brings!
