Cleaning Gone Wrong
As some of you may know, Laurel and I will be visiting Chicago this weekend. In preparation for the trip I decided to clean my fish/frog tank.
I decided the kitchen sink would be the closest and most convenient place to do this at. I don't exactly have the supplies to get my fish and frogs out of the tank so I found random kitchen items to complete my task. Knowing I may accidentally let a frog or fish get loose into the sink I plugged it up an even put a paper towel over the plug. Sure enough the first frog went pouring out right into the sink. I quickly grabbed him with my hands and threw him into his temporary bowl. The 4 fish were easily transferred into the bowl. Then it dawned on me, "Where is my other frog?" Hip(my frog) was stuck between the rocks at the bottom of the tank with no water. I dumped the rest of the tank, rocks and all, into the sink. He was ok and I got him safely to the bowl. Now both frogs and my 4 fish were safe. I began rinsing the tank out and the water level in my sink began to get to full. Now what does one do when the sink is too full?? You empty it, of coarse. So I pulled the plug free and I heard, "plunk." One of my glass rocks had fallen into the disposal. I spent the next 20 minutes trying to find this rock. Ever few minutes I'd turn on the disposal only to hear the attempt of this handy machine trying to chop it up. There were no flashlights to be found so I grabbed a lamp, removed the shade, and used it as my spotlight. My parents were in bed, my brother didn't want to help me. My search began to get annoying and I was tired so I just left a note saying, "Mom/Dad, I was cleaning my fish tank and a rock fell into the disposal. Don't believe me? Turn it on and you'll hear it clanking around in there. SORRY!! Love, Krista" With that I finished putting my pets back into the tank, took them downstairs and went to bed.
This morning I woke up and headed downstairs. Underneath my note was a note by my mother saying, "Krista, I felt aournd-don't think its there. I turned it on and it sounded fine... Mom"
I suppose its down with the rest of the sewage of the quad cities.
Yet I can't help but think, "What the heck!!!"
