i thank God for the sense of smell..and for a forgiving dog..

i just did something so mean!!

i chased the helpless Skippy
around the house,
reprimanding him for
a crime he did not commit!

the pool of liquid
in the middle of the toilet floor
wasn't pee!

no wonder he scooted
away so fast
from the living room
to under the dining chair
to behind mummy
to jie's room
before i dragged him
into the toilet for his testimony..
-oh, i feel so guilty- :(

'twas only after the scolding
and punishment of sitting still
when i was clearing up the mess
did i consider the viscosity (<- a term i learnt in physics)
of the yellow aqueous material (<- that, in chemistry)
and it's -canyoubelievethis- smell (<- observation skill from biology)
before deeming it impossible to be pee.

and the blameworthy fluid
was unquestionably
DETTOL!!

rawwr!!
thank God for the sense of smell
and for an ever-forgiving dog
who nuzzled me when i said sorry.. :)
