Interesting discovery in your closet or cupboard (go look and find something)


Rated "E" W/C 273

Now, this goes back a few years. Actually quite a few years. And this is not in a closet or cupboard, but does a dresser count? And I almost am embarrassed to recount this tale. But, you know, what the heck. I am of a certain age and some of my acquaintances have already heard of this. I do have to admit I have mended my housekeeping ways, my friends.

Disclaimers done, here goes.

Once upon a time long ago, I was a busy mom with two rowdy children. We didn't have a lot of money at that time. I also did babysitting, a bad decision upon recollection, but that was my husband's way of me making a few bucks for the family. Whatever. We did like pets. I think we had a cat or two. Female cats. Said cats were unfixed, if I remember right.

So the cat had kittens. Cute little kittens. They grew up and we found homes for all of them. Months went by. For some reason, I decided to clean to out my daughter's dresser. This was unusual thing for us. Cleaning was not a big priority, you must understand. I would rather be outside with the kids, or reading or doing anything other than clean.

Anyhoo, as I cleaned this dresser, I came across the mummified body of a kitten. Yep - it was dried up and under some clothes.

I wish I could say that scared me. It didn't. I just chuckled and threw it away.

I do clean my house now. I don't think a mummified anything is in my house now. Unless you count me.
