Well it was my last night at the families house (before I moved into my own apartment) and I was getting ready for the night just brushing my teeth. It was a little late in the evening and I was tired from the day, so I took my right arm and rested on the wall next to the mirror. Now I had always seen two exposed wires coming out of an empty outlet box in the wall, but I figured ¨those have been there awhile, more than likely just dead wires¨, and then I suddenly lowered my arm from the wall... lets just say I wasn´t as tired as before. That same night I woke up suddenly from my sleep at around 4:00am (usually from the rooster, but this time it was my own fault). Fifteen minutes later, my friend the rooster started to sing to me. Normally, it takes him about 4-5 tries before he figures out that he doesn´t sound that good and shuts up for about another hour and a half to try again, oh no... this night he was tone deaf. He goes off in his groupings of 4-5 crows, in fifteen minute intervals, for about 45 minutes or so. Thinking to myself ¨sleep is probably a good thing¨, I get up out of bed, grab a water bottle from the trash and start to fill it with water to the brim from the bathroom. Next, I open my window and reach my arm through the iron bars to get ready to drench this guy. As I bring my arm back and fling the water forward out of the bottle (I was so tired that I didn´t think to fill the bottle less) water comes right out of the opening, and all over me. At this moment I was now tired, frustrated, and covered in water. Finally I go into the kitchen, fill a large bowl with water and go to the back door which is never deadbolted... tonight it was. So I go out the front door, down the steps, around to the back, and with every desire to drown this bird with two gallons of water, I throw all the water directly on the bird in the cage, and getting a couple of his girlfriends wet as well. I then went back in the house to sleep in peace and quite believing it was a job well done. As I crawl back into bed and role over, I bet you can´t guess what happened next!
