where is the ladder?

This is so funny. My mother asked m1 and me to look for a ladder in the house. Apparently she took a very long time before she found it as it was in such an inconspicuous place. So, as a challenge I suppose, she put up $10 for the person who could find it first. Seeing it as such an easy task, (how hard is it to find a ladder in the house?), I immediately began the search. 1 second after walking out to the living room, I found it- right behind the thick curtains. The curtains were bulging so unnaturally especially from where I was coming from. And this is how I am now $10 richer. =DDDD
