Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.

Today, my little sister was in charge of doing the vacuuming, when she decided our hamster had "dust on his back". FML

Irrational fears
Today, my daughter, who can pick up spiders and even snakes without flinching, screamed at the top of her lungs because she saw a mouse. Um, what? FML

Today, I decided to teach my dog not to be scared of the vacuum cleaner. I grab the handle and get it close to her. She runs off and hides behind the couch and pisses everywhere. FML

Today, I watched Free Willy with my daughter. Later on she decided to free her 6 pet mice into the house. FML

Poor little guy
Today, I showed my family my new pet hamster. At the sight of him, my grandmother, who I had no idea hated rodents, let out a loud screech, causing my usually docile hamster to bite me and piss in my cupped hand. FML

Today, my son lost his pet rat, Charlie. Whilst vacuuming under my couch, the vacuum suddenly shut off. Something was stuck in it, so I took it apart. Something was inside, so I leaned in closer to get a better look. Bad news? I need a new vacuum. Good news? I found Charlie. FML

Today, I found out that the horrible stench haunting my apartment for the past week was the decomposing corpse of my freedom loving gerbil underneath the bed that I've been sleeping on. FML
JustLeaveThem
Today, I was reaching into the floor vent in my toddler's room to retrieve some toys she'd dropped. What I found instead was a clump of large dead spiders. FML

Leftovers
Today, my daughter brought home her class hamster for the weekend. It escaped and we spent hours searching for it. We later found it in the fridge, eating our leftover pizza. I never knew hamsters had such a refined palate. FML

rest in peace, little guy. hopefully you don't use the whole "it ran away" speech and have your daughter find out years later that you killed them with a vacuum...

YTDI. What in earth made you think it was a good idea to vacuum near those gerbils? On the vacuum cleaners label stands 'do not vacuum children or animals', I guess they've put that there especially for people like you. The only reason why this isn't your fault, is when the gerbils escaped their cage and you were unaware of their presence while vacuum cleaning, until you vacuumed them. If so, FYL. Otherwise, YDI.

Stupid woman. Maybe they're not total cowards like you, maybe you coulda like, I dunno, picked them up and put them in their cage? Your kids are screwed with parenting such as you provide.

It's better than what happened to Lemmiwinks. But, yeah, be honest about what happened. I'd also like to hear the rest of this story, but until I do, I'm going to imagine the gerbils as Spanish explorers questing to find out where the Goldfish crackers have gone.
