so, we've got six 'house pets'. four cats two dogs. it's nothing for me to wake up in the middle of the night, to either walk full on into a dog poo, or a slimy hairball.
and i have gotten good at avoiding them too. (sometimes our hardwood floor grain knots trick me into thinking there is a spew at 3 am in the dark.)
anyways, i digress.
tonight i go downstairs to let the dogs out. its dark, with some ambient light.
oh, and btw: i dont clean anything up when it comes to excrement from the animals.
i see what i think is a large dog shit.
so i come upstairs, yell at the youngest boy to put the rubber gloves on, get the paper towels, don't throw it in the bin cause it will stink, mode.
so he goes downstairs after said vermin, and i thought (because we keep our washed laundry down there), what if it was a sock in the dark.... so i scream... it may not be a turd afterall....it could be a sock....
he yell's 'it's a ****ing goddamned sock, if you had turned the light on, you would have known'
(even my wife stated: you spew a day before an animal shits in the house, but yet you didn't smell a thing)
and this all happened in less than two minutes, it's not like we debated and drew straws as to whom would clean it up
