A household mystery.

[Rain Man]

As some of you may know, my wife was out of town most of this week. This created all sorts of unusual situations for me, such as picking out my own clothes, driving myself to work, and cooking my own Jiffy muffins.

I made a very odd and disturbing discovery when I was cooking my first batch of Jiffy muffins. I whipped up the mix, turned the oven on, and started to put the muffins in, when I saw something at the bottom of the stove.

In my initial investigation, I learned two things:

1. The heating element of an oven gets really, really hot very, very quickly.

2. The item in the bottom of the stove was a small bell, kind of like what you see on beanie babies or cat collars or something.


Now, before you jump to conclusions, both of our cats are fine and healthy, so I don't think my wife has been doing the old Chinese restaurant switcheroo. We also don't have any beanie babies, so unless she hunted and cooked one, I don't think she was making beanie baby casserole.

Where the heck did that little bell come from?
