Today’s three words:
HEIST • HANK • HAIL.
The Great Hank Heist
It started with a hank of yarn.
Just one.
Purple, naturally. 💜
I put it on the table and walked away for less than a minute.
When I came back, it was gone.
Completely vanished.
No yarn.
No witnesses.
No remorse.
I looked under the chair.
Nothing.
Behind the sofa.
Nothing.
Then I heard a suspicious rustling sound from the hallway.
And there it was.
The missing hank.
Halfway down the corridor.
Being dragged by a cat with the determination of a professional criminal.
“STOP!”
The cat froze.
Looked at me.
Then ran.
At that exact moment, the heavens opened and hail started hammering against the windows.
Chaos outside.
Chaos inside.
Perfect cover for the heist.
By the time I caught up, the yarn had been unravelled through three rooms, around one chair leg, under the table and somehow around Bella.
Bella looked personally betrayed.
The cat?
Proud.
Very proud.
Apparently the operation had been a success.
The yarn was ruined.
The house looked ridiculous.
And the thief escaped prosecution due to overwhelming cuteness.
Case closed.
