Passing on the Skill


extcords

My dad has a special way of putting away his extension cords. It looks like a chain, compacts the cord nicely, and is easily undone with just a tug.

He taught his method to Mensa Boy. Mensa Boy says he forgot how for a while, but now he's remembered and here he is passing this method on to Taylor.

On another note: Yesterday I paid Roto Rooter $109 to come flush two toilets.

Yup. Just flush them.

The toilets have been a consistent problem here...the two that are used by the younger generation. Yesterday morning Mensa Boy said that he could not satisfactorily unplug them...they still drained slowly.

So I called Roto Rooter.

The fellow came in the door, flushed them and they worked great. He tossed lots of paper in there to clog them...still worked great.

ARGH!
