Swine Fipping is my new term for the opposite -but equal- of Swiss Timing. Very timely, but in a negative way.
Usually, Liam can be happily asleep, but the first time I think, "Man, I need to take a crap" BOOM! He's instantly awake.
Or, during the night, he likes to feed at 11pm and 3:30am. But last night he ate dinner late so he at at 1am and 5:30am, exactly 2 hours different. Sheesh, it's "timely" like Swiss Timing, but Swine Fipping has none of the positive energy associated with it.
As for Poltergeists around the house? Well, they are active suddenly, and two things are happening.
In fact, as I'm writing this, one of the little buggers must be upstairs. Suddenly, I'm hearing the toilet flush and Kathy's out running errands.
This poltergeist suddenly started working his magic on his own this week. Kathy reported him this morning as she made coffee. The upstairs toilet flushed and she ran up to find out that Max had woken up, waddled into the bathroom, hopped up onto the seat, and pooped. He was in the middle of trying to get his underwear back on when she got there!
Yesterday another, more mischievous and expensive poltergeist pulled one of the bar stools over to the keg fridge and poured a 1/2 liter stein of beer. Really quite a good job, if I do say so. Max was again found at the scene of the crime. Even better, the little poltergeist had pushed the tap back so 10 gallons of beer didn't spill into the game room.
Small blessings indeed!
That, and time for a keg fridge lock.
