The day Tigger flooded the basement with fizzy water

Yup, that would be yesterday. So, it rained hard yesterday afternoon bringing in a glorious cool front (not cold -it's still about 61 F out there). Kanga went down into the basement to get something out of the freezer and she yodeled, " There's water in the basement!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" It was in a strange location and we were all standing around scratching our heads as to how it got there. (Hint: It wasn't Tigger who made this flood, nor was it the rain. The guilty person (wasn't me!) would probably like to remain anonymous.)
This would be me. I am not, have not been, and never will be responsible for any floods in the house.

Anyway, Tigger noticed that there were some boxes by the flood that were wet, so she asked Kanga if she should move them. Kanga said that was a charming idea, so Tigger moved one box. Then she went to move the other, and instead of dragging it like she had the first one, she picked it up. This turned out to be a failure of the policy of the Tigger Administration because a.) the box was cardboard, specifically WET cardboard and b.) the box contained 12 750 mL bottles of fizzy water. Did I mention that the bottles were glass? You can envision what happened I am sure...Somehow only 5 broke, but those were enough to make a big mess of broken glass and fizzy water and add to the flood.
Tigger- I still love ya even if you flood the basement because you take me on walks in the snow!


What is my house coming to? Floods from the roof, floods from the basement, floods from the Tigger, snakes in the house, squirrels in the yard, I tell ya, it's enough to make a girl want to find a new house to relocate her family to!
WWFN!
