the pee burgular

apparently our house was burgled last night while we were sleeping. well, i guess i can't technically say it was burgled because nothing was taken. instead it seems that *something* was left behind.

dna evidence, to be exact, which was unfortunately flushed down the toilet and lost forever. so we will never know who the alleged burgular was, but i am passing the word anyway so all my neighbors and friends will be aware of his (or her?) rather bizarre and disturbing m.o.

so this is how it happened. the kids got up for school this morning and after breakfast, my son went to brush his teeth and use the bathroom. he is the one who discovered the burgulary and raised the alarm. according to him, *someone* peed in the toilet and didn't flush. he claims it was not him and he has a rock solid alibi, as do the other 2 kids. none of them dunit. i certainly didn't do it. the cat is not toilet trained and the dog was outside all night.

the only possible remaining conclusion we could come to is that somebody broke in to our house, peed and ran away... (cue mission impossible theme song and imagine that)....

so the kids have now decided we should booby trap the house in case the so-named pee burgular returns to victimize us again...
