I'm sure the lamblets are picking up many of Grizzled's and my neuroses whether we want them to or not. I'm sure somewhere down the line, they'll wonder why they do things a certain way. I hope none of their inadvertent habits are too bad... I hope they get the majority of silly ones, the ones we don't even fully realize we do ourselves until we see our children have picked up on them and are doing it on their own.
See Exhibit A... It appears the lamblets have flashed on the fact that when I put away the plastic Ikea cups... I tend to put them in Roy G Biv order. I don't need to do it anymore. They do it for me.

but what if you like the green cup best?

Then start with green! Or end with green....
It doesn't matter where you start or end, as long as they're in order.
It could be Gbivroy.

Also... as you can see... one of the yellow cups is slightly more orange... it must be towards the orange cup, not the green... and the dark green must be by the blues, not the yellows... just sayin'.

I'm sure fish will come along and say all of this. That's when he's not busy putting assless chaps on toddlers... I don't even want to think what's next. Maybe the freezer...

If you only have two (like us) this happens of its own accord with no intervention on our part. Isn't nature wonderful?

LOL!! Good point!

I have to say this because TLB has beaten it into me: all chaps are assless.

I'm not touching it, although I was thinking the same thing... having spent enough weekends in Chicago during Mr. Leather International.

this is related to my thought of the morning, which was how I can ensure that I don't pass on my spider phobia to Bronwen

JENNIFER! Sorry, I dropped off the planet for a while. :) This is totally something I would do. I can be a little ocd when it comes to putting away dishes. Especially loading dishwashers. I will now never buy colored cups like this, because I would do this now.

BUT THE PLATES!!!!
Posted by: fish | March 11, 2010 at 07:56 AM
The "newer" plates don't have enough color variation for it to be satisfying. If anything, I sometimes put them in repeating patterns... green, yellow, orange, blue, green, yellow...
The old flower-shaped Ikea plates came in many colors and worked.
