A Puzzlement or Two

[chomiji]

To the Person who left an extremely dusty but completely unburnt Hanukkah candle on the sideboard in the dining room: ... WTF did you expect to happen to it next?!

To the Young Person who has been snacking in the kitchen: If you use up all the steak knives to cut off pieces of leftover birthday cake, what are we supposed to use to cut the steak?

(I bet that they are just so glad that I'm home again ... .)
