One of These Things (is Not Like the Other)

Back in the day (we're talking WAY back in the day) when I was an avid watcher of Sesame Street there was a song titled "One of These Things (is Not Like the Other). Quite a catchy tune, really. The lyrics are :
"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? "
The song was used in a sketch for Sesame Street where the viewers are shown a picture of 4 items all with a common trait, save one - the one that isn't like the others, the one that doesn't belong.
Lately, Luke has decided to resurrect this "game", although he has put his own spin on it. He will put a random object someplace throughout the house and then wait, ever so patiently, for us to find it and discover that it "doesn't belong". We've been getting pretty good at spotting the odd ball items.... let's see how well you do!

1. Luke's drawer

2. The Mop Bucket

3. The Kitchen Cabinet

4. The Refrigerator

5. The Drawer


Answers: 1.-cheese slicer. Bonus points if you spotted the dry erase marker also in the drawer. 2.- Cocoa and Chinese Beef Soup mix (yes, that is what those little packets are) 3.-toy remote control 4- dust pan brush 5.- Love Dare book

Gotta love this stage. :)
