Handcuffs in the crisper

One of my favorite things is to happen upon toys left mid-play. Call it entertainment. Or call me kooky.
Just recently, after the littles were put to bed, I walked downstairs to turn off the light in the playroom. From the looks of things, there had been some intense play going on. But before I turned out the lights, I took a peek at just how Zoey & Pazely left things.

I began at the giant Barbie house, & this is what I observed...
Barbie is washing dishes at the kitchen sink.
A male doll (not Ken! *gasp*) is reclining on the couch, covered in a crocheted afghan.
The two cats, elephant, dog, & monkey have been fed.
There is a pail full of pies on the balcony.
Stuff is shoved underneath Barbie's bed—just like my own daughters' beds!
A TV is tossed on a sofa chair, like a throw pillow.
A ballerina lies motionless in a grocery cart on the 3rd floor.
The baby, wearing a romper from the 1980's, is eating donuts in the corner of the fitness room.
Two bales of hay sit atop the stairs.
A tropical bird, resting in a men's loafer, sits on a shelf next to the recycling bin in the kitchen.
Thirty-one shoes are piled in the corner of the garage.
I opened the fridge: Barbie's apron was in the crisper drawer, along with a pair of handcuffs & most of the fine china.
A raincoat rests in the crib.
Ken (so there he is!) is lying face down in a horse pasture—wearing a firefighter uniform.
A giraffe is driving the Jeep.
Out back there is a child dressed as a witch playing with her pet turtle & a giant salisbury steak.

You just can't make some of this stuff up.
(Barbie doing dishes?!?! Pfft.)

  1. Barbie wasn't doing the dishes...oh no, no, no, no! She was soaking her hands with Palmolive like Madge used to before giving herself a nice manicure...
