If You Give a Pig a Pancake . . .

If you clean out a closet, chances are, you'll find some hangers that are small kid-sized hangers and you won't need them anymore because your kids are getting big.


And you think to yourself, hmm, "Who could use these small kid-sized hangers?" And if you think to yourself, chances are, you'll think of your sister who has a 5 year-old, a 20 month-old, and another on the way and you think, "Perfect! I'll send them to her!"

And if you think you're going to send something to your sister, you think you need to send something fun for the kids as well. And if you want to send something fun for the kids as well, chances are you'll be in Kroger and find cute hair bows for a great price. Perfect for Hanna.

And, chances are, if you buy something for Hanna, you'll have to buy something for Zach. So, if you think you have to buy something for Zach, chances are you'll call your sister and ask her what Zach is into. And chances are that if you call your sister and talk to her she'll tell you more than Zach's love for Buzz Lightyear. She'll tell you that she doesn't need any hangers. "Please don't send me any hangers!" She'll also tell you how the pregnancy is going and her quest for healthy eating.

And if she tells you how her quest for healthy eating is going, chances are, you'll happen to be sitting at a Weight Watcher's meeting when "Healthy Cookbooks" are half price and, of course, you'll buy one for your sister.

And, if you're doing all of this stuff for your sister, you'll be thinking about her a lot and you'll find the perfect stitching project that will be really quick. And you do it!

But you can't be stitching all of the time so you go to Target to find a Buzz Lightyear and you get the perfect one for Zach.And while you're at Target, you hold Buzz Lightyear in your hand and think, "All I got for Hanna were hairbows. She needs a toy." So you go to the next aisle and find a doll for Hanna.

If you did all that thinking and shopping while you were at Target, chances are, when you get home, you will want to just sit and stitch and finish the project.

If you finish the stitching project, chances are, you will decide you need to frame the stitching project and you will go to Michael's in search of a frame.

And if you go to Michael's in search of a frame, chances are, you'll find one---that needs paint.

So you paint it really fast and while it dries you do the dishes and sweep the floor and wait. And chances are, if you do housework while you wait, it will dry. And you put it in the frame and you are happy and think you are done.
And if you think you are done, chances are, the frame will not fit in the box that everything was being packed in.


So, you find a new box and it fits! Yay! But if you find a new box that the frame fits in, chances are, you will need tape.

So you know you have tape somewhere and you look and look. And chances are, if you look for tape, you will find it in the laundry room on a shelf next to a pile of hangers.


And chances are, the pile of hangers will remind you that you have a pile of kid-sized hangers that still need a home.

(Anyone out there want a pile of hangers? They must be picked up, I'm not sending them anywhere. )
