Now if you can just teach the cat to operate the vacuum! 
I once woke up in the wee hours and heard this random thumping, sounded like someone pounding on the side of the house or something. THUMP! silence. THUMP-THUMP. silence. Etc.
I got out of bed and began creeping around the house, trying to isolate the source of the sound. I got more and more freaked out…WTF WAS it? I grabbed a big walking stick and searched the place on tip-toes, ready to bash someone.
Finally, I narrowed it down to my son’s room, and crept up to the door, flung it open all hopped up on adreneline with my war-face on, only to find a helium balloon floating up and beig knocked back down by the ceiling fan. :smack:
I grabbed it, took it to the kitchen, and killed it with a butcher knife (made me feel a little better)
