The case of the Missing Print Cartridges

Something spooky is going on around here! Earlier this week, I realized that the cartridges on the computer printer were out of ink. It was kind of an inconvience to go without them all week, but you do what you can. Yesterday morning, I had to run some errands including replacing the print cartridges. Since I'm in school, it's really important that I print assignments and notes before they are replaced by this coming week's current ones. I deceided the best thing to do would be just to get the cartridges and take them with me. That way, I would be sure not to get the wrong ones. I opened the printer, and they were gone! I stared at it for like fifteen minutes, hoping they would somehow magically reappear. The results were still the same. I am 150% sure I never touched them. My mother was 150% sure she never touched them. So the question is, who did? Although that is a serious accusation to make, I think I know who did. Those who know me really well are probably guessing the same as well. Tonight, I finally replaced them and went back to put them in. The old print cartridges were back in! I stared for another fifteen minutes, only this time because I was in shock. They were back in! The only explanation I could think of was this person came back into the house while my mother and I were out to put them back in. But why? And out of everything in the house, the print cartridges? I just couldn't help but laugh. I'm thinking about taking the old ones along with a note and leaving them on the doorstep next door with a note. '' If you wanted these cartridges to recycle them, you could have just asked. I would have given them to you. There are definitely some interesting characters around here, but they help make life interesting.
