Note to self:
Self, pay attention well - next time you don't know what something is in the washer, investigate it a little better before just reaching in and picking it up.
Said behavior resulted in a very girlie FREAKOUT brought on by the realization that the item in the bottom of the washer (of course throwing it back into the washer was part of the FREAKOUT!!!) was alive at one point and was no longer so.
What was it? If you have lived in Florida longer than a week you know it was a lizard, or what was a lizard. All that was left was part of the head and neck... Hence the FREAKOUT.
Poop, pee, blood, vomit, spit-up, and snot don't usually even cause me to more than blink, but apparently lizard parts are too much for my delicate nature and I scream and shake my hands like a lunatic.
My lovely husband calmed me down (I didn't need much calming, but it was pretty funny) and then went and fetched said lizard part out with his BARE HANDS (be still my beating heart). He then chuckled a little at my reaction and formed a hypothesis as to how this happened. "The cats probably caught it and played with it until all was left was this, which somehow became mixed up with the dirty laundry."
Sure, sure...sound so calm and logical about it.
