    Rainy-day housekeeping

    Today’s post comes courtesy of my Houston bud Yen, who was “amazed and totally disgusted” to discovered a new twist to the torrents of rain we’ve had the last few weeks. Too, too funny:

    So I finally decided to get maid service and today was my first appointment.  A mother-daughter team arrived (Terri & Jamie).  Terri was in the hall bathroom and said, “Umm…there’s a frog in the toilet.  Like a live frog.”

    SHE found a FROG in the hall bathroom toilet. Yes, A LIVE FROG. Freaking rain these past few days and freaking backed up sewer lines. Maybe Terri thought that Asian people keep pet frogs in their toilet.  I was so embarrassed.

    Luckily, Terri  facilitated a safe and humane release of the frog to the front yard!!  I wouldn’t have touched the thing.  He could have just had the guest bathroom, forever. Yikes,  I called the contractor and he said that with all the rain, sewer lines are backed up so it probably got in that way.  He’s never heard of frogs in the toilet, but he has heard of snakes.

    Moral of the story.  Always looks before you sit.  Nobody wants a frog up their hoohoo.

    Beware of toilet frogs. … Toilet frogs look very similar to regular Houston frogs.

    After more Google research, Yen discovered that this is a somewhat common occurrence in Houston.
