Son – “Mom, mom. There’s beeping in my room.”
Coffee Fiend – “What?”
Son – “Beeping. THERE’S BEEPING.”
Coffee Fiend – “Beeping?”
Son – “BEEPING. I. can’t. sleep. with. the. annoying. BEEPING.”
Coffee Fiend – “Ok, ok. Let’s go.”
Son – “THE BEEPING.”
Coffee Fiend – “Yes, yes lets go find it.”
Son – “Kill it.”
Coffee Fiend – “Not a problem dear. I generally kill things that wake me at 4:30am, anyway.”
Son – *Giggles*
So, I stumbled out of bed and out of my room to find the beeping. It was my office. My friggen office was beeping at 4:30am. My battery backup was having a friggen seizure. Sigh.
I killed the beeper, my child cheered, and I stumbled back to my room…only to come horrifyingly close to stepping in the largest pile of dog puke I’ve ever seen. (You know you wanted to know that last part.)
Beeping and dog puke. That’s all I got people.
Oh. OH, OH. No, No no no! I have something else. Something exciting:
I have COLORED googly eyes!! oooooooooooyea
Heh.
Catriona
You know you’re a seasoned dog owner when, even with bleary eyes, you avoid stepping in dog effluence. Well done.
Thank you, thank you. I thought so. hahah
OMG! Were you in my house last night? I swear that could have been my story!
Gosh I hope not! Did you have a seizing office, an annoyed child, and a large pile of dog puke?!
Almost…Our beeping was an old alarm clock packed in a box in the recesses of my kid’s closet. Drove us nuts trying to figure it out. And sub out the puke for puppy poop and we’re just about there. 🐶
Oh your beeping was much worse. Mine wasn’t hiding. lol
hmmm, puke or poop…..I donno which is worse. gack.
Thank you for sharing! Reminded me of the night my husband got up at 3am to answer a call of nature and stepped in what he though was a hairball hacked up by the cat. But turning on the lights to clean it up revealed it to be a thoughtfully laid out gift of dead field rat!
OH MY. Well, sure glad it wasn’t that. GACK.
Damn! I was kinda hoping you found my tentacles…you know, the green and purple ones..I lost ’em again…shit…googly eyes? And you got all over my case for leaving my appendages?! Who the hell left the googly eyes? I think I deserve to know…
YOU LOST THEM AGAIN! WHAT HAVE I TOLD YOU!?
