Residence Wars Episode VI: Return of the Roommate

"Always two there are, a master and an apprentice." -- Yoda

I'm sure you've all been dying to find out what's going on with my roommate. Well it turns out he wasn't kidnapped or locked up in prison or anything cool like that. I think he was just visiting home for a few weeks. But on his return, he did not come alone. He brought... wait for it...

his mother!

Yes, that's right. Imagine my surprise upon returning one day to find a middle-aged woman cleaning our kitchen. My first thought was that someone new was moving in and the building manager was nice enough to order a cleaning from top to bottom. No such luck... well sort of.

I definitely wasn't getting a new roommate, but she did clean from top to bottom. The aggravating part was that I had finally gotten fed up and cleaned up the mess my roommate left for the past 3 weeks the day before Darth Mother showed up.

This seemingly trivial fact sticks out in my mind because I remember saying to myself "he's going to show up the day after I wash all his dishes". Lo and behold, he's back. Perhaps strong is the Force with me after all.
