We interrupt our irregularly scheduled programming to make the following important announcement: Our home has been taken over by an alien being.
We aren't sure its intentions yet, but we have discovered a few things about it in the week it has taken up residence here.
(1) it is a being that operates at an alarmingly extreme level of energy and activity. We are fairly sure a geiger counter would be off the charts around this thing. Does anyone have a geiger counter we could use?
(2) it appears to have a voracious appetite and can apparently digest any random substance it finds from organic matter to rocks. It takes occasional tentative tastes of the children;
(3) it likes to lure us into complacency by hiding under an armchair in the family room, then later sneaking out to wreak havoc;
(4) it wreaks havoc with fair regularity;
(5) it is nocturnal and gets very upset if any human in its vicinity tries to sleep at night;
(6) it might be related to an Ewok. Or perhaps it is just an ingenious disguise;
(7) it has some indefinable power against which we are powerless. Despite it's destructive nature, we have become strangely attached to it.
Perhaps if I post a photo some kind reader might be able to identify it and give some tips on how to control this thing. In the meantime, we have taken to calling him Murphy.
Don't stare into its eyes or you will become its slave. . .
I warned you . . .
