Today, I realized that my two year-old likes to help with the groceries. And by help, I mean hide a bag of chicken. It's been two weeks since I went grocery shopping and I still can't find it, but it smells like something died in my house. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, we found out the god-awful smell in our truck was actually coming from the whole uncooked chicken I thought the store forgot to ring up over two weeks ago. It had fallen out of the bag and under the passenger seat. FML
Today, I was looking in the refrigerator for the chicken I bought four days ago. I finally found it - not in the refrigerator, not in the freezer, but in the trunk of my car, which now smells like a dead animal. FML
Today, I was wondering why my home smelled so weird, until I found out that my 4 year old son had been secretly scattering around food he didn't like to eat throughout the house. How did I find out? No one else in this family leaves half eaten spinach all over my underwear drawer. FML
Today, while eating dinner, my child picked up a piece of their chicken off the floor and put it in their mouth. It wasn’t until during bath time did I realize it wasn't chicken but poop that fell out of their diaper. FML
Today, I discovered the source of the vile stench in my room. My daughter had "saved" a bird from our cat and put it in a box under my bed, hoping to nurse it back to health. She forgot about it, leaving the corpse rotting in there for who knows how long. FML
Today, my six-year-old daughter organized a treasure hunt… for our cat. She hid the contents of an entire bag of cat food all around the house. FML
Today, my husband gave our three-year-old son a lesson on life and death. He did this by slaughtering our pet chicken for dinner in front of him. My son has been crying for hours. FML
Today, I found a decomposing hamster deep in my closet. My daughter had hidden "Peach" after accidentally killing it and said it had ran away a month ago. And I'd believed her. FML
Today, my toddler thought it would be funny to hide my car keys. After searching for hours, I found them in his toy box. FML
Today, I walked into my apartment after work, only be to greeted by an awful smell. I searched every inch of the place, convinced something had died. After an hour of searching around, I found the source: a single forgotten boiled egg in one of my backpack's pockets. I will never forget the smell of sulphur or whatever it was. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

If you've been trying to find the smell for a while, try leaving the house for a couple of hours and try again later. You might have gotten too desensitized to properly detect the source

The nose knows.

Well if you ever need to hide a body, you know who to turn to

Your two year old is probably like "It's right under her nose, where she least expects it!" But how'd a 2 year old hide a bag of chicken?

It doesn't necessarily have to be a whole chicken, maybe a small pack of breasts or a couple drum sticks. It could have also been one of those tiny Cornish hens too.

I wasn't implying it's a whole chicken, I was saying generally where could it be hidden without being found easily.

Borrow someone's dog and keep a close eye on it. It may well inadvertently lead you to your foul smelling treasure. Obviously do your best to prevent said dig from consuming any of the chicken.

If there are flies in your house, they go right for the source of the foul smell. They are an effective (albeit annoying) way to find dead things. I learned this from an animal control guy who went to my school to find a dead animal that had dies under one of our portable classrooms.

I say play the "grocery game" and let him take the bag and see where he goes, he might take you straight to the chicken.
