A while back my family lived in a house with a pool. One hot summer day my mother requested that I help her clean out the filter. We pulled off the cover and inside was a dead bird. It must have been there for several days because its guts were starting to pour out. I had to hold my breath so I wouldn’t get a whiff of the decaying bird. My mother instantly became nauseous and there was no way my little sister was touching the bird so my mother went and got a plastic grocery bag and I had to lift the limp wet bird out of the filter.
