Adventures of Salt and Pepper

I can be a forgetful person. It is not uncommon for me to remember leaving something in one place and when I go to find it, it has traveled to a completely different location. I may have moved it and forgotten or someone else may have picked it up, but sometimes I can’t find an explanation for how an object got where it is. I decided to illustrate an explanation as to how inanimate objects seem to grow legs of their own when no one is looking, and just walk away. I took two common house hold items, salt and pepper shakers, and created a story about what they do when there is no one to witness them. In the story, Salt and Pepper come to life and leave their posts on the Kitchen table and go explore the kitchen. The Pepper shaker does not hear the girl walking into the kitchen. This means he cannot get back to the place he was sitting when that girl left the room. When she comes in, she sees the pepper in a different place than she left it and cannot understand how it got there. What she attributes to her own lack of memory is the result of the salt and pepper’s little adventure.
