He thought he found the perfect hiding spot
Frodo huddled under his invisibility cape. “Is this thing working?” he wondered. He could see out perfectly, but could they see him? He stood up and headed towards the entryway.
“Harriet, our blender is running away!” Frodo looked back at the shrill male voice that belonged to Herb and began running.
“Herb, don’t you dare use that ‘blender running away’ excuse with me today! You’re not getting out of breakfast duty!”
Frodo raced to the front door, opened it, and ran to where Gandalf waited. “What took you so long?”
Frodo took off his invisibility cloak “I don’t think this is working.”
Gandalf saw Herb racing across the yard towards them and held his staff up, uttering a spell. Herb screamed, “Come back here, you motherfuckin’ blender!” just as they disappeared with the cookies.

I had a washing machine that when it went into the spin cycle, would march down the hallway, presumably trying to make a break for it. I share his sentiment. Who wants to do laundry all day?
