As you know, it's dry here. Humidity is usually below 10% and as I ride a motorcycle for a living my lips get dry and chapped in a big hurry. About the only product that gives me any relief is Carmex. I don't go anywhere without that little yellow tube with the red cap in my pocket, I've been late many times looking for a tube before I can get out of the house. I tend to lose things all the time (different story, drives Suger crazy). As a result, Sugar buys me Carmex in bulk, six tubes at a time.
Lately, I have been losing those little yellow tubes at an alarming rate, one every couple of days. My reserve supply was disappearing rapidly, and I was beginning to think I had a stroke or something. I do lose stuff, but not this fast. I was actually getting a little worried...
Then, one day before work I had all my uniform stuff laid out on the bed. There is a lot of it, over 30 pounds with the belt, vest, gun, taser, cuffs, notebook, pepper spray, cell phone, wallet, flashlight, watch, helmet, pens, radio, etc. etc... In that pile, was my tube of Carmex. Scooter always "helps me" dress out and demands attention. He knows when I start putting the uniform on, I'm leaving soon, and he gets his last bit of attention in before I go.
So, he's on the bed, and I go into the bathroom for a minute. When I come back, he's sorting through the pile, and has the tube of Carmex in his mouth. He's headed off of the bed, so I stop him and get my Carmex back, and throw it back in the pile. A minute later, he's got it again, and the chase is on. (Keep in mind, I'm half dressed and trying to catch him). He goes into a corner between the wall and Sugar's nightstand, drops the Carmex, and bats it under her nightstand with all 12 front toes. Then, he looks at me like, "What Carmex?"
Damnit! Now I have to dig it out of the 1" gap under the nightstand. I get my flashlight so I can see under there to find it, and guess what I discover?
I'm sure you've figured it out by now, FIVE tubes of Carmex! And a toy mouse. Little bugger has been systematically stealing them, and hiding them under Sugar's nightstand...
I now have my Carmex stored in a drawer. I give him three weeks before he figures out how to get it open...
