Apart from dust bunnies, Christmas cards (yes it has been a long time since I vacuumed under the sofa) and playmobil items?

OMG what happened???!!!!! 15 pages???!!!

It was a small, sprouting potato.

Well that's very disappointing - wasn't even a large sprouting potato 🥺

Yes, but the sprouts were little arms and legs for it to move about on, and it had been harvesting Playmobil pieces in the dark of the night, and teaching itself to read with the help of the Christmas cards during the day.

But how did it get there, it must have escaped.

It's like set up plot for a horror film.

Attack of the small sprouting potato.

If you'd left it long enough for a bit more dust to accumulate, and someone had happened to spill some drinks nearby to give it water, it could have produced enough new potatoes to keep you going for the next year. Wasted opportunity!

Alternatively she could have left it to ferment and made a very small glass of vodka with it.

how disappointing but definitely nobody guessed that🤣

FloralBonnet why start a thread to tell the world you found a small sprouting potato under your sofa? I mean, if it had the face of Jesus on it then I could see why....

Womendohavevaginasnick · 28/06/2021 09:59

@FloralBonnet I expect you read every single one 🤣

Why write a snarky comment just to show us your not very nice?

DownSideUpped · 28/06/2021 10:20

Womendohavevaginasnick it was supposed to be funny. Clearly you didn’t think so.

FloralBonnet · 28/06/2021 11:09

Because if I started it on Facebook, all my aquaintances would know my potato based shame.

Womendohavevaginasnick · 28/06/2021 11:19

Did you plant it?

When I finally moved my very heavy piano, there was lots of what like pot pourri under it. My two DS confessed that whenever it was suggested they could eat their satsumas before a biscuit they would chuck the segments under the piano and therefore have clean bowls.
