The Leprechaun Moved to the Fridge

We don't live naked in a mud hut so I won't complain, but I must admit sometimes my major appliances cause me frustration.  I was uncharacteristically alone in the house one quiet afternoon when this sudden noisy knocking from inside the refrigerator sent me into cardiac arrest.  After I unhooked Hunneypunkin's jumper cables from restarting my heart, I opened the fridge to investigate.  All I found were inanimate condiments.
I told Hunneypunkin the fridge was sick, but there's a rule in The Super-Secret Manual of Pointless Instructions for Guys that girls possess an innate disability to legitimately discover a mechanical problem so I was on my own to solve it.
I wondered if there were containers bumping around when the fridge motor kicked on, so I would slink into the kitchen like a ninja in order to sneak up on the fridge and open the door quickly during the knocking.  Again, inanimate condiments.  I decided there must be a mechanical problem in the motor.
It was uncharacteristically quiet in the the house one tired evening when this sudden noisy knocking from inside the refrigerator brought Hunneypunkin out of a post-seventeen-hour-workday nap. After checking the front door, the back door, and the imaginary trapdoor to the imaginary dungeon and finding nothing, Hunneypunkin checked inside the fridge door.  Of course he found only inanimate condiments.
He wondered if there were containers bumping around when the fridge motor kicked on, so he would slink into the kitchen like a ninja in order to sneak up on the fridge and open the door quickly during the knocking.  Condiments.  Inanimate.  He decided there must be a mechanical problem in the motor.  I agreed wholeheartedly with Hunneypunkin's assessment because he truly is the magical fixer of all things mechanical.
Pixie maintains that the leprechaun who lived in the dryer abandoned his flute there and got lost in the fridge where he's knocking to find his way out.  http://chevroletmama.blogspot.com/2012/10/a-leprechaun-lived-in-dryer.html  Lefty stands at the fridge and knocks back.  The refrigerator's knocking has gone on for months and nobody cares enough to fix it so long as the inanimate condiments stay almost as cool as Jeremy Renner.

  1. I (Pixie) was able to sneak up on the fridge and open it in middle of its knocking. It continued to knock while it was still open. So that must mean that the leprechaun is inside the back or behind the fridge.
