the mystery wet spot

So the past couple days there have been these mystery wet spots showing up on the carpet upstairs. They aren't big wet spots (about the size of a dime) but they had a tendency of showing up right after I had been near that part of the carpet. Now, I will let you know, that I AM house trained and do NOT pee on the carpet. Yes, I have gotten REALLY excited and peed on the floor...but only occasionally. This is still no reason for Mommy and Daddy to blame me for the mystery wet spots on the floor...yet they did! Can you imagine spilling a little water on the floor and then your loved ones accuse you of peeing on the floor?! It's crazy!!!

So yesterday, I am sleeping (quite happily I might add) when Daddy goes upstairs to shave. While he is up there, he sees more mystery wet spots. Thank God I hadn't been upstairs in hours or else guess who would have gotten blamed, AGAIN?!

To make a long story short, Daddy did a little detective work and found out that the expansion tank on the hot water heater had rusted through. It was slowly leaking water through the smoke detector and it was dripping on the floor.

Daddy went to the Home Depot and bought a new expansion tank and then did a little research on the interweb and then went up in the attic and banged around and said some bad words until finally he came back down and everything was fixed.

My daddy is my hero and quite a good detective, too. He found the cause of the mystery wet spot!
