What my boobies got me, part two.

Jul 28, 2006 09:32

Please add to that previous list of why I like being a girl:

Finding a frighteningly decomposed dead rat in my irises in the back yard last night, and NOT having to be the one to chuck it over the fence into the neighbors' yard. Nice. :)

Score one more for the girls!

bratenfrau July 28 2006, 17:43:42 UTC

And score zero for the people over the fence who are currently wondering why the fuck it was raining dissolving ratbodies!!!

score.

i'm the designated rodent-handler in our house, too. though j's the official creepy-crawly-murderer, because such things tend to make me shriek in a decidedly womanly fashion.

Now I'm having visions of a cartoonized Cashbox squawking "Eeeeeekkkk!!!" and jumping into the burly arms of the nearest Orkin man. Nice.

(Also, in this scenario, you're wearing slingback pumps. Don't ask.)

cashbox July 28 2006, 17:55:53 UTC

that's pretty much how it goes, except one of the slingbacks flies off and, instead of an Orkin man, it's a confused neighbor.

bratenfrau July 28 2006, 18:32:52 UTC

And instead of the neighbor being burly, he's actually Bugs Bunny?? Yeah, we're on the same page then.

I'm glad you think we're useful for something

bratenfrau July 28 2006, 17:41:02 UTC

Oh, men are "useful" for all kinds of things... removing festering rodent corpses is just ONE of those things.

I just wrap my hand in a garbage bag and take care of the icky shit.

bratenfrau July 28 2006, 18:31:41 UTC

Yeah... I'm not denying that I COULD have done that... I'm just happy I didn't have to. :)

(Although one time, I lived in a place that had a little water garden in the back, and I found two dead kittens in there, and I let them sit there for three weeks because I was too horrified to touch them. AND ended up still having to get it myself, despite having a "man" around. Not that it's related in the least.)

It's just me and my grandmother so I have to do all the hard labor (Manuel Labór) as well as get rid of icky crap. The closest thing to a male in my house is the cat, and he's neutered.

bratenfrau July 28 2006, 19:43:57 UTC

It sounds so much more festive if given a generally Spanish-ish accent, no? Also, I'm thinkin' the cat could have handled this one!
