I bought a mini whiteboard and stuck it up beside the pantry a short while ago. It was for urgent family communications.
Scotto and I can be like ships in the night since I started leaving home at 6:30 am and don’t get home until 5:45 pm. Sometimes he’s out on a job when my little yellow car pulls into the driveway and I don’t know if he’s fed the dogs or not.
The dogs are pathological liars and carry on as though they’re starving to death if they think they can dupe us and get fed twice.
Luckily, I’m smarter than a dog.
But I came home to this note on Friday and panicked.
Had Scotto gone mad? Why the hell had he fed the dogs champagne in the fridge?
Dogs don’t drink champagne do they? And it’s bloody cold at the moment up here on the mountain so why did he put the dogs in the fridge? And how did he squeeze the German Shepherd in? I anxiously hoped there wasn’t hair all over the yoghurt and margarine.
I shrugged to myself thinking what a weirdo I’d married and fed the poor, hungry things some proper dog food.
Sometimes I use the mini whiteboard to set tricky challenges or leave words of wisdom. I have a lot of wise sayings if you want to read them. My Wise Sayings
Last week I wrote this up as a little contest for Scotto and Hagar (my 24 year old son).

If you can solve what
this word represents,
I will give you $2.

I kept finding scraps of paper everywhere with hundreds of random jottings where one or the other genius had attempted to puzzle it out.
Hagar gave up trying out of boredom but Scotto was slowly going mental and kept pestering me for hints.
“One of my Grade 4 students solved it without a hint!” I sniffed. “You can do it. Surely you’re smarter than a ten year old. Even the Chihuahua could solve it if he could read!”
But sadly, he could not puzzle it out so I still have that $2 in my wallet.
If you can solve it I promise I will send you the $2.*
Go on. Give it a go.

It has just occurred to me that it would be just my luck this post will go viral and I will have to send 100 000 people $2 in the mail and I really don't want to be licking all those stamps so only the first person to get it will win any money. K?
