Today, while having breakfast in the kitchen, my eyes wandered to the fridge and I burst out laughing.

Nope, haven’t lost my marbles. For that matter it is not as if fridges are comical by default or even occasionally. But when they have on them a camel on its back—all four legs in the air— they become a laughing matter.

L&M who had his back to the fridge wanted to know what was funny. Natural question considering that his wife who was placidly chomping on her bread and omelette had suddenly chosen to laugh uncontrollably.
I pointed him in the right direction, towards the camel on its back, all four legs in the air.

He started laughing too. Not as much as me, but still a hearty laughter at the expense of the upturned camel. You see, I know a little secret that he doesn’t see or ummm …will not acknowledge even when shown.

There is only one absentminded, tall person in our home who could possibly have done this. While absentminded I maybe at times—preoccupied more like it—tall, I definitely am not.

I rest my case 😉
