Today is November 2nd. It is two days after Halloween. Do you remember what happened to me last Halloween?
You would think that after last year I would have learned my lesson. It isn’t a hard one to learn. If you have a night where strangers (or friends and family) are going to be walking up to your porch then you stand a good chance of having things from your porch. Have one gnome out, you tempt people Have TWO gnomes out? I may as well have put out a neon sign saying, “Please take these gnomes!”
Yup, that’s right. The gnomes have been taken again. Last time was cute, but now the poor couple haven’t even had their one year anniversary as husband and wife and they are now in the cold clutches of some deranged gnome-knapping maniac.
The saddest part of all of this? I’m actually very bummed out by the ordeal. I really like McMullen and I like his wife. The two have been proudly displayed on my porch since McMullen’s safe return and now I don’t know if it is friend or fiend that has taken my favorite yard decorations. Why are they gone? Because I didn’t think to put them in on the same night that McMullen was taken from me once before. It’s almost as stupid as leaving your removable face plate stereo in the car and NOT expecting someone to yank it out (yes, I’m guilty of that one too).
