One of our bathroom sinks has been running slow – the legacy of older plumbing that hasn’t been maintained well. I cleaned it out (yet again) the other day.
The Boy noted, while washing his hands, that the sink still ran slow.
Me: That’s because the stopper is broken. We need to do a minor repair job.
The Boy: I see. Another minor repair job.
Me: It’s not a problem. It’s not like we have to figure out how to do it. I know someone who’s great at fixing things who will be coming to stay for a few days in November!!
{Long pause.}
The Boy: The Great Pumpkin?
Me: NO!!!!! My dad!
I heard that last line coming way before I finished reading your post.
To do list….
Take tool box.
Oh, he can borrow our tools. 🙂
Only need a bucket and some paper towels. Oh, then the rest of the room empty of two legged spectators.
Two legged or four legged? They're both eager to help…
