Without a trace

I have found out that it is always good to be able to clean the traces. This may save you many troubles. Recently I have also verified this simple thing in reality.

There is very interesting system of shelves and drawers in our kitchen. There are also some shelves, which go full out the furniture and you can reach them from two sides. Mom usually stores things such as flour, salt, sugar etc. There but sometimes you can also discover something more interesting – for example biscuits Ája and I simply love and also other treasures.

Last time mom opened the shelves was when she needed to put some spices into vegetable salad. I discreetly approached to the shelves from the opposite side to not be seen and started examining its content. After a casual inspection my attention was caught by small red package. I tried to keep on low profile… reached for the package and disappeared behind the corner.

The package and I moved to dinning room. Ája has her bed there behind the corner so mom cannot see it directly. That is exactly where I parked myself and started careful inspection of the package. It contained some gummy bears. I carefully tested one of them and found out it was not bad at all. At that moment Ája appeared and to keep her silent, I had to give her one too. She sat next to me on her bed and enjoyed it as much as I did.

In a while gummy bears were safely transferred in my tummy and I realized there was one little problem. I was holding an empty corpus delicti. What now? I looked around confusedly and than I got an idea. The simplest thing would be to put it into waste basket. I walked to the kitchen and made sure mom was turned away when I opened the waste basket and disposed of the empty little red package. When mom turned back, everything was all right again – mission fulfilled.

The whole operation, which was like from books by Ian Fleming went smoothly and without results… :-)
