Cloaca

I’m in the kitchen baking with a vet show on in the background and K is in the living room. Our house is a weird, one heat source, Alaska kind of house which basically means you can talk to anyone in the living room from all other rooms in the house. I suppose you could call it an “open floor plan” but really it’s just a way to heat the whole house from only one point in said house.

I’m not really watching the tv, but I am aware of what’s happening, so from the kitchen, someone sings one word…

“Cloaca”

“Did you just sing cloaca?” Comes from the living room, one never knows when K will listening.

“Uh, Noooo. Why would anyone sing cloaca?” Trying to sound convincing, but really, it’s not fooling anyone. If you asked anyone I know decently well who they knew who was most likely to do such a thing, I’m pretty they’d give you my name.

What? You don’t know anyone that would sing the name for a single hole certain animals do everything from? That’s damn sad!

Technically it’s really just one hole you see I believe. If you opened a chicken’s cloaca you would actually find two more holes, one for eggs and one for waste. You learn all kinds of weird things when you get chickens.
