As I was looking through the pantry to find the box of Town House crackers I had in the pantry with a good three sleeves of crackers in them, I notice the box isn't in the pantry anymore. Curious! So I ask Jack where they are. He says, "I saw the box upstairs in the bonus room". After going to get the box, I realise, all I HAVE is an empty box. NO crackers. So of course, I ask, where are the crackers, he of course, blames it on Caroline (who in all honesty had spent the better part of the last 24 hours holed up in the bonus room with her cousin, Allie.) Caroline, naturally, swears they had only eaten half a sleeve of the crackers.
So what happened to the crackers? Here is Jack's theory.
He deducted this from what? I don't know.....~ "The Holy Ghost snuck in through the window last night while Caroline and Allie were sleeping in the bonus room. He tip toes across the floor (Jack is demonstrating lifting the window and tip toeing across the floor) and gets two of the packages of crackers out of the box. You see, God really wanted some oval crackers, because He had some cheese up in Heaven He wanted to eat, but He didn't have any crackers to go with the cheese. So He saw the box of crackers in our bonus room and sent the Holy Ghost to come get them. And when the Holy Ghost left He disappeared just. like. that. (snapping his fingers). And all that was left when He went back to Heaven was some white fuzzy stuff and some white smoke. That was it."
So there you have it. The Case of the Missing Crackers solved by Jack Statzer and a visit from the Holy Ghost.
As a side note: what is interesting is we don't even say Holy Ghost (we refer to the third person of the Trinity as the Holy Spirit) - although Jack is quite stuck on that term because of a song we sang at church. He can't understand why there are ghosts in Heaven. And didn't we say that ghosts aren't real and if we said that then why are we singing about it at church.......I'll have to leave those questions to people who are much smarter than I am~
