This Post Has a PG-13 Rating!

I had the oddest day today. It will go down in history and will be talked about (and laughed about) for years to come. I will start at the beginning. This morning I was awakened to what sounded like a woodpecker pecking at the wall behind my head. I said to myself "stupid bird!" and banged on the wall. I got out of bed and heard what sounded like another bird stuck in my laundry room. I opened the door slowly so as not to have a bird fly out at me, but when I looked in. . . nothing. I went in put some laundry in the dryer to dry and washer to wash. We had breakfast and started our Saturday cleaning. After my load in the washer was done I went in to switch it. When I went to take the dry clothes out of the dryer they were all still wet. Well I of course went to the obvious conclusion that I had forgotten to start the dryer. When I touched the button nothing happened. "Oh Crap!" I thought I can't afford another dryer. So we messed around with it. Nothing, wouldn't go. So we looked up dryers on the Internet and even went and looked at a few, but decided to wait to buy one. Today was the BYU game and so we had our friends the Dickson's over to watch the game. We told them of our dilemma and Jeff who is an electrician offered to have a look at the dryer see if it was something he could fix. After only a few seconds Troy comes down and says to me "Honey, there really was a bird in our laundry room today." I was of course surprised. I asked him if it got stuck behind the dryer and he said "Nope, it some how had gotten into the dryer vent from outside and made its way down and got himself stuck in the motor and died." My first thought of course was "EEEEEWWWWWWW!!!!" So he went back up, only to come running back down to say that Jeff had just tried to pull it out and the head came off! Of course my first thought was "EEEEWWWWWW" my next thought was well now I have to see it and grab the camera cause this is totally bloggable. So here is the PG-13 part of the picture of the dead and decapitated bird. Please stop here if you don't want to see the picture. But if you can you have to keep reading cause it sooo doesn't end here.

So after we debirded the dryer Jeff tested it and Huzzah it works. In attempting to put the dryer back together he some how (we still are unsure how) touched metal to electricity and tried to electrocute himself! The lights flickered and we could see from down the hall the sparks! Luckily no one was hurt (besides the bird of course) but he fried a (perfectly good prior to this point) part of the dryer so we are back now to a broken dryer!!! I swear it is all true. If you want to call the Dickson's you totally can. Thankfully we found the part we need and Troy can pick it up on Monday and Jeff is going to come back and "fix" it again. And he said he would help us get on the roof and see if we can't keep the birds out from now on!!!!!!

THE END!
