I can remember at least one time from my childhood when someone forgot to put the lid back on the garbage pail after replacing the bag, and a cat tried to jump on top. Whoop!
And then they have to pretend like they really *meant* to do that, so as to save face.
Heh....when I'm at TheHouse, I have to remember to keep the lid down. Miss Emily is nearly blind and that's her path to the bathroom sink!
