One of these things is not like the others, one of these things just doesn't belong
Can you tell which thing is not like the others
By the time I finish my song?

So what do we have here on a teenage boy's dresser?
Let's see. A CD. Dreaming Out Loud by One Republic, borrowed from the library. OK, that's fine. We have a stack of books. Might be a little odd for a teenage boy's dresser, but not so much if the books are scifi/fantasy, which they are. We have Axe deodorant. Totally belongs (and gives the air surrounding a nice but very heavy aroma of machismo). A camera case. Yep, necessary to take pictures of many girls. Can't quite see it in back of the camera case, but there is an assortment of pocketknives. Not at all out of place, especially on the dresser of someone who likes sharp implements. A pitcher. Which belongs..........IN THE KITCHEN IN A CUPBOARD, NOT ON A LEDGE BEHIND THE DRESSER. I have been LOOKING for that pitcher for several days, especially at dinner time!!! Do you know how frustrating it is to look for something and NOT FIND IT FOR DAYS? I spent a lot of time on my knees digging in my cupboards for that thing!
Argh. When confronted with the crime of theft--I asked him why he had the pitcher and not just a cup--the perpetrator smiled and said, "I was thirsty." The pitcher had several cups' worth of water in it; he must have been mighty thirsty. He also said, "I kept meaning to put it back," which does not absolve him of the misdemeanor. This WILL go on his permanent record. And I'm posting guards around my dinnerware.
