Twenty-Seven: Looking Around (08-16-2022)
So who did it then? Because I always close the door and it has to be latched if you just pull it closed it won't latch you have to pull it again, and when I got back from work it wasn't latched. So someone went in there. You didn't even do a good job of hiding it because you clearly don't know to latch the door, whoever did it. What did you take out of my room? I'm not mad, I'm honestly impressed you thought you could get away with it. But your mistake was not latching the door, which I always do. It's not a big deal, I'll let it go if you just give whatever you took back.
I can just look through your room and see what I find. Why would that be such a big deal? You went in my room and took something, or someone did. And if it wasn't you then you should be more concerned because that means someone broke in here and they probably went in your room too. So let me look in there to see if anything is out of place. It would be weird if something of mine got moved into your room if someone broke in but it wouldn't be impossible so just let me check. And if you didn't take anything then there's nothing to be worried about.
I had half a king size Reese's left too that went missing a while ago. You didn't eat my peanut butter cup did you? If you did then that would explain why you were emboldened to sneak into my room and take something else. Maybe I should check my food stash and see if any of my Twizzlers are missing. I thought you didn't eat candy? You were here by yourself all day on Saturday while I went to the city, you didn't even call. Sometimes you call when you want to use some of the eggs I bought so I actually thought it was weird that you didn't call about anything like that. Maybe you didn't want any extra attention while you ate my Twizzlers.
You know I save those Twizzlers and only eat a few at a time over a couple weeks so you probably thought I wouldn't notice if one or two went missing. Or whoever broke in did. But I noticed the door wasn't latched and thought 'huh that's weird I always latch it' which means someone opened it. And if someone went in there they obviously would take something because there would be no other reason to go into my room without taking something. So just tell me what you took. Stand up, are you sitting on it? Is it in your pockets? Let me go in your room just to see. I don't care if it's messy in there.
Well if you didn't take anything then you wouldn't care if I went through all the kitchen cabinets and looked in the tank of your toilet either. Only someone trying to hide something would be so concerned about there roommate checking the vents. Maybe I'll find mold or damage and actually save your life. Maybe the landlord hid some money in the toilet tank and thought we would never check. Or maybe you took something.
If you took money and already spent it just get me a hoagie and I'll forget about it. You don't even have to say the hoagie is in return for the money you took, you can just get me one and it'll be all straight. But I'll know the hoagie is for the money you took. It doesn't even matter if it's a hoagie equal in value to the money you took, it's about being fair and paying me back at all. And I know you're broke and need the money and that's why you broke into my room and took my Twizzlers and money. I swear I had twelve Twizzlers left.
