The Mystery of the Missing Pillowcases

Last weekend, I stripped the striped sheets off my bed, put them into the wash, and went to put the patterned sheets on.  But nowhere could I find the pillowcases.  I hunted through the entire linen closet, but to no avail.  I gave up and put a pair of solid-color cases that sort of blended with the sheets onto the pillows.
This morning, I stripped the patterned sheets and the solid-colored pillowcases off the bed and put them into the laundry basket.  I then dug out the flowered sheets and put them on the bed, but, alas!  there was only one flowered pillowcase!  Again, I hunted through the linen closet.  Lo and behold!  I found the patterned pillowcases I'd wanted last week but no second flowered pillowcase.  I gave up and used the one flowered case and one solid case that sort of blends with this set.
I can only assume that my linens are out to drive me slowly insane.
And I'm keeping a careful eye on the set of striped pillowcases that are due up for next week.

    1. It's easier when you don't have two babies underfoot. :)

  2. Maybe they have been visiting all my missing socks?

    1. Maybe. And maybe that passport of mine is with them all. No doubt they're in Argentina on holiday, living it up at our expense.

    2. I'm checking my credit cards.....


      Good, all there. At least someone else is funding their fun.

    3. Hmm.... mine too. Wait, though. Someone will soon comment about missing underwear or bathtowels -- and then we'll know who's funding all this!
