The Great Disappearing Yogurt of 2009

This evening I went to buy a few groceries.
Among other things, I bought four containers of cherry-vanilla yogurt.
Yet, when I checked through my bags, I found only three.
At first I thought it had fallen onto the floor of the car, so I checked thoroughly.
Nothing.
I checked and double-checked.
I distinctly remember putting four yogurts into the cart.
I remember paying for four yogurts.
I remember seeing four yogurts in the grocery bag as I was wheeling the cart out of the store.
Yet, somewhere along the journey, one of them decided to make a break for it.

Possible things that could have happened:

1) The 4th yogurt was actually a shape-shifting supervillain who had to leave abruptly to work on the newest earth-conquering scheme: Vanishing Dairy Products.

2) The 4th yogurt got stolen by a starving supermodel who learned how to be invisible by closing her eyes and thinking of shiny objects.

3) There was no 4th yogurt; I was merely hallucinating as a precursor to going completely insane.

4) Yogurt #3 and #4 merged into one so they could confirm their undying love for one another.

5) One of my alternate personalities ate the yogurt without telling me.

6) Yogurt #4 was ostracized and rejected by all the other yogurts, because it kept leaving the toilet seat up.

7) Yogurt #4 ran away because it wanted to see the world and experience new cultures.

(Ha! Get it? Yogurt? Culture?)

Ooooh. I can be invisible by closing my eyes and thinking of shiny things? That is useful.

I love the invisible model! But my guess is the bagboy ate it on his break...

Yogurts, like gnomes, can be very tricksy...

That's weird because this morning I heard a tiny knock at the front door and when I opened it I found a cherry-vanilla yoghurt on my front step holding a tiny hobo pack and looking a little worse for wear. I'll talk to it and see if I can figure out exactly what happened.

(on a completely unrelated note: this is the best spam word thingy ever.... pantspil. hahaha)

This requires a full investigation

Janna said...

Marilyn: Use it wisely!

Venom: I wish I could blame it on the bagboy. The problem is there WASN'T a bagboy. The mystery deepens....

VE: And don't forget the orxes and hobbitses!

Gwen: I almost believed you until I realized that MY yogurt wasn't spelled with an "h". :)

DaOldMan: I agree!

Gwenhwyfar said...

You know what, Janna? I am getting just a little sick of your letter prejudices. First it was U and now H? What the hell, dude? What's next? Huh? Z?

Janna said...

Gwen: I was gonna harass you about "Q" next, but "Z" can be next if you'd rather. Just a sec, lemme change the list...

I wondered why I never see ADD/ADHD people any more...

Janna said...

Whall: I give up... why? Are they hiding in the yogurt? Maybe they... Ooooh, look! A kitty!

Janna said...

Whall: (again) Actually, I can think of some definite advantages to being invisible. Unfortunately, I have never been (and will never be) a supermodel.

whall said...

People with ADD/ADHD are always saying "look! something shiny!" and turning to look.

Janna said...

Whall: I know people like that. It's so frustrating when you're trying to explain something and... OMG, look! Silverware!

8) I ate it.

Travis Cody said...

I agree with Da Old Man, but who does one call in a case such as this? Is there an official yogurt investigation bureau?

The YIB?

Janna said...

Morgen: *gasp* I knew it!

Travis: There should be a CSI spinoff called CSI:Yogurt. Or maybe a Law and Order spinoff.
