For Example:
Finding two (2!) whole bananas in the trashcan. Normally I would just pick them out, but they were peeled, and sitting directly on top of a clump of kitty litter, which Spot apparently carried over from the litter box oh-so-helpfully, in the slotted shovel (get it? It’s slotted so you only scoop the dirty litter) across the living room, across the dining room, across the kitchen.
Yet another make-your-life-with-pets-easier invention I could do with out.
(More on why I caved about getting a pet in the first place, later.)


Ha ha. At least you can say something about it to your kids. When my roommates do crazy things like that, I just have to shake my head and get over it.

Actually, I should probably shake my head and get over it with my kids — or, at least, consider that they are too young to know better.
I love bananas, they are such an inexpensive fruit. Unfortunately, my children seem incapable of taking more than one bite. I would much rather find them in the garbage than my usual spot (the bottom of my foot after stepping into the kitchen for something).
Nothing like a child’s help that adds years to your cleaning time.
Yeah, I usually find them squished under my foot, too. You just don’t know how lucky you are….;)
