The 'Disappearing' Family Photos

Ever see something new in your house and think to yourself, "Who put that there?" That's what happened to a Wisconsin couple recently, when their son Kevin began replacing family photos around the house with pictures of someone else: actor Steve Buscemi. Kevin was wondering how long it would take for his parents to notice; according to his sister, their father "noticed [on] the second day but [their] mom didn't notice until the fifth day." Now, of course, "the internet has now declared Kevin … a genius."

Possible Preaching Angle:

So maybe you've never had a family member not-so-stealthily stash an actor's photos around your house, but chances are you've probably let some things sneak into your everyday rhythms and routines—"little" things like habits, addictions, or cravings—without your notice.
