Mini-Blog: House Sitting

I didn’t get my blog posted on Wednesday as promised, posting it a day late instead. I hate to disappoint all three of my readers like that, so in hopes of making up for it I present to you a mini blog. At least I hope it stays “mini”. No promises though.

My parents spent the week on vacation, they asked me to check on the house a couple times during the week. These very difficult duties included:
  1. Gathering the mail and newspapers
  1. Making sure the toilet wasn’t running
  1. Checking on the baby birds to see if they had grown up and left their nest in the grill of an old grain truck on my parents’ property
  1. Making sure the basement wasn’t flooded

After a normal report via text message Tuesday, I became bored and decided to spice up Thursday’s report:

Me: I grabbed your mail and newspapers, opened them and flushed them down the toilet, thus clogging it, so it’s still running. Therefore the basement is no longer dry. Also, I brought all the baby birds in the house so they’ll poop on everything. You are welcome.

Me: Oh, I almost forgot. I also upper decked your other toilet, turned on all the lights, peed on your bed, and started a small fire in your office.

Mom: Thanks for handling everything for us. You must be exhausted!
