The Mysterious Cupboard Cleaner.

Yesterday was a pretty quiet day. Not too much happened. Because clubs are shutting down for the holidays things have been pretty uneventful for us but a strange event happened over yesterday and today that is still causing us to scratch our heads.

We were being very organised and getting ready well in advance for our Wednesday after school club called Xplode. Attendance has pretty much exploded this year too as we've gone from about a regular 25 to 40. What a thrill. We'd done some major shopping for the club since we were throwing our Christmas party for them and had everything ready to go and were on our way out the door when we remembered a few items we still needed. I ran to the kitchen to grab some stuff and then joined Lisa in the cupboard looking for the other items. When I say cupboard I mean big closet...I guess that's just what they call them over here. We were frantically trying to find what we needed but for some reason things had been moved around and we couldn't find anything. We began digging through random boxes and all of a sudden a bin from one of the top shelves came hurdling down and landed between us upside down, the crayons and marbles spilling everywhere! We were lucky it didn't hit either of us. In a fit if hilarious laughter we tried to compose ourselves. We found what we needed and then decided we had no time to clean it and we'd do it when we got back.

The club went fine. It was fun and the kids were pretty well behaved which made it more a pleasure than a chore. When we got back to the church it was well dark outside and the cupboard light doesn't work very well so we decided we'd tackle the mess first thing in the morning. The odd thing was though, when we came in this morning someone had beaten us to it! The bin had been picked up! We looked at each other and laughed at the weirdness of it and then became a bit nervous as to who was going to yell at us for making a mess and them having to clean it! It was one of those moments where you feel a bit like a kid again. You feel a bit of a rush from having made a mess and thinking it was funny but a bit scared because you know you're going to get reprimanded.

We still don't know who cleaned the cupboard but we're going to leave thank you notes on everyone's desk just in case.
