The Case of the Octopus Potatoes

by Terry on Tuesday, June 16, 2009

This afternoon while making preparations for dinner tonight, I suddenly remembered that I had stored potatoes in the crawl space under my office for the winter.

As hubby was already downstairs, I asked him to check to see if I had left any down there as I knew I had used some during the winter.  A few minutes later, he yelled from the foot of the stairs, I walked over and asked what was wrong.

He was standing there at the bottom of the stairs with his eyes popping.  “What’s wrong?” I asked.  He says, “Octopuses!  The crawl space is full of octopuses (octopi?)”

“Huh?”

He then goes to get the potatoes and comes up the stairs with a box of potatoes and sprouts 3 ft long!  Absolutely amazing!
