Today I left a box of cereal, a roll of tape, and a pair of scissors on our bed before I went to work. I left these things there because for young women tonight we did a Favorite Thing Night, and everyone was supposed to bring something they liked that was less than five dollars. I quite like Cinnamon Chex, I needed to wrap the present before I went to Young Women, and by leaving it on the bed, I knew I would see it after work, I could wrap quickly, and I wouldn't forget it.
When I got home from work and went to wrap the cereal, I discovered that Moo Moo had chewed up the roll of tape. Bits of plastic were all over the bed, the tape was mangled, and Moo Moo was lying on the bed trying not to look guilty.
She did not succeed.
What's so funny to me is that Moo Moo hardly ever chews on anything. She'll go months and months without destroying anything, and then suddenly, we'll find something she has gnawed on. Once I found a pencil, another time a wooden dowel, another time a pin cushion with little Chinese cloth dolls on it. There seems to be no rhyme or reason as to why she chews these things, and it happens so rarely, I don't even think about it. But something must come over Moo Moo and she destroys.
Fortunately, in spite of the roll being mangled, the tape itself was undamaged and still functioned just fine.
