OCD

Paul has OCD. It only manifests itself in certain situations though. He can't stand to have things just haphazard on the counter or table. For example, if I've sorted through the mail and left a few things slightly turned, he'd come along and straighten them. Now, if there is something on the floor that needs to be picked up, he can't even see it. But a pen not in alignment with another pen... well, that's just not acceptable.
So sometimes I like to play little tricks on Paul. If i notice him straighten papers or pens I'll mess them back up again when he's not looking. And without even stopping to think, he straightens them again.
On Sunday we were running a little late to church but Paul found time to do a little straightening before leaving (and notice that he didn't put them away - i guess too much effort!)
Before (I'm guessing this is what i looked like before - I had to recreate since it wasn't planned)
















After...
