Bad Things Really Do Happen In Three's

I wondered yesterday, after the loss of two couch pillows in three days to various bodily excretions, whether bad things happen in three's. I think my family may have finally proven, once and for all, that bad things really do happen in three's. 

Last night, after our return from a visit to the Doctor's office, AB (the wife) took a seat on the couch, where but one couch pillow remained, only to discover one of the kids, probably the two-year-old, had marked the whole last remaining pillow with a blue Crayola marker. 

For those of you keeping score, that's three pillows in four days. I know this may not sound like a big deal, but keep in mind that we have had these same pillows since 2003 without incident. 

It's uncanny. Here's the timeline: 

Tuesday 11 a.m.: The wife discovers the third and last pillow lost to a blue Crayola marker.

More studies are needed, but the documentation above certainly supports the reasonable conclusion that bad things come in three's. 

The good news: My recliner is still safe.
