Just Add Water
We're the coolest parents on the block. If you're 7 or under.
Want to know what happens when your sewer backs up and the plumbers leave two huge piles of germ infested dirt that are about 4 feet high on your front lawn? The neighborhood kids come over and start to play in it. We are the coolest parents on the block right now.
At first, I thought they would climb it a few times and get bored but boy was I wrong . They were on it like flies on poo. About five minutes later I get asked for soap so they can wash the...dirt? (or poo - but let's go with dirt)
Then a few minutes later I get asked for the hose. Sure, why not - because at this point they are so dirty it's beyond all hope. I just hope everybody has had a tetanus shot.
There is squealing with delight outside as the 3 little explorers "find" the 50 year pieces of old sewer pipe mixed in the dirt and proceed to wash it with the requested hose.
Then we look out the window and they're down the street dragging a bag of "clean" dirt so they can go to a friends place and continue washing it because their garden hose is better.
Ya.... No. Get Back Here! There will be no moving of the dirt to the neighbors house. It's our dirt and it stays here. The neighbors can get their own sewer dirt. Bring the dirt back!
They come back and proceed to get muddier. I am not sure how it's possible but it is. But the fun. You guys, the fun. There was lots of muddy sewage-ey fun on our front yard this evening.
At this point we're afraid to look out the window and see how things are going. BW texts the neighbors Momthat they might come home a little dirty.
Might. ha! good one! They went home unrecognizable.
They are coated in germy dirt and when my little charge came in she was told to "stay there" and "don't move" as I ran to get her a towel and carry her to the shower to hose off my germ infested offspring.
I swear to god that the dog has smelled better than what I was drying off in the front hall tonight. She stank. Bad.
If this is the last post you read it's because I caught some infectious disease from the sewage play and that's it, I'm dead. Please don't sell my electronics for what I told BW I paid for them. 💵
Until next time (I hope),
TH and Co.
