Day 180. Mr. Man is taking a walk on the treadmill. Maybe it's part of his New Year's resolution. Actually, I think he was trying to run and hide but he got sidetracked on the treadmill and couldn't get off. He gets blamed for a lot of things around our house. "Mr. Man hid my home work, Mr. Man took my shoes", and so on. It's like that comic strip where they have an extra kid named "Not Me" that no one ever sees. But, when the parents ask who did it all the other kids say, "not me". Around our house it's Mr. Man. It's easy and no one gets into trouble for whatever he did. Besides, isn't blaming some one else for my mistakes and problems normal? It seems that taking responsibility for the bad as well as the good in our lives is a thing of the past. It's always some one else's fault. Ok, I'll get off that soap box. Annie likes to blame Mr. Man when she cant find something, but she found out pretty quick that he won't help her find it.
