Hunky: .We think we should complain about an infraction of the rules.

Dorie: ..The rule has always been that whatever drops on the floor is ours. We don't eat off their plates and they don't eat off the floor. That's the way it's always been.

Hunky: .But not long ago the Husband wandered into the kitchen ...

Dorie:  He'd just gotten up and wasn't particularly awake yet.

Hunky: .... and he dropped a pill on the floor.

Dorie:  Naturally Hunky and I went after it right away. But so did he (pretty fast too, for being semi-awake), and in the confusion it got batted under the refrigerator.

Hunky: .And we figured that was the end of it. Nope, the Husband got a long kitchen utensil and went probing for it under the 'fridge.

Dorie:  We knew he wasn't going to put that thing in his mouth after that - he just didn't want us to have it. Hardly seems fair.

Hunky: .But he did find the cap to his jump drive and the rubber pedal pad for the kitchen wastebasket; a couple items we'd stolen a while back.

Dorie:  Okay, fair enough.
