Things That Go Out the Window

From Russell Baker - "Inanimate objects are classified scientifically into three major categories - those that don't work, those that break down and those that get lost."

In our house - Inanimate objects are classified into three major categories - those the kids broke, those the kids will break, and those the kids lost.

The only things that don't fall into the "lost" category are things that are too heavy to be moved by one person (such as appliances and furniture), but those things still fall into one of the other two categories, things the kids broke or things the kids will break.

And today, there's a new category - things that get thrown out the window.
