Dear child,
I know scrubbing the toilet is “gross”, (believe me, I know), but no more gross than the “gift” you left me in your rush to get back to your video game. Just be thankful that I had cleaned the toilet on the weekend (especially after your brother threw up), and that we haven’t had “chili night” in a long time.
I could have been worse. When your brother developed a habit of “picking and flicking” (I think he was bored) and I got sick of cleaning up after him, I made him clean the whole bathroom. Armed with a toilet brush, a sponge, and a toothbrush. I’m talking the tub, sink and toilet. The taps. The floor. The walls. Even the light fixture. There was no merciful pre-cleaning done for his benefit. We may have even had chili that week (Dad did all the cooking at the time). I don’t remember. I just know it cured the habit.
What you choose to do (or need to do) in the bathroom is your business (unless it involves drugs or a girl).

Life is messy and full of distractions. But heed this warning: if I am assaulted by any more ” O Henry bars”, you will be scrubbing much more than the porcelain, and I will feed your father chili first.

Happy Wednesday!
You often scratch my funny bone, Jenn, and you did it again. Choice line for me: “What you choose to do (or need to do) in the bathroom is your business (unless it involves drugs or a girl).”
Happy Thursday!
Thanks Marian. It was just the perfect end to a..well…crappy day! 😉
I did a lot of gross things in my younger days (And maybe even my adult days), but picking and flicking……………… ick!!!
Better than pick and eat tho…
Lol too funny! And very relatable *sigh*
Thanks! 😉
