Surprise!

It is Sunday evening. The holidays were amazing and things are starting to settle down. But not at home. I forgot our congregation changed their meeting time and I was late for church. I have already cleaned the house just a day ago and did all the laundry (washed not put away yet :-) but it is already back to a disaster zone.

We have started a new tradition where we have my sister who now lives next to us come over for Sunday dinner. She is Vegan and gluten intolerant. So as my wife put the final touches on dinner she asked me to "clean up".

A little begrudged, I went to the bathroom and there was toilet paper scattered about every where. I thought to my self. "that is an easy fix". I then proceeded to put all the toilet paper in the bowl, only then to have a voice in the back of my mind say the following, "Hey Ben, that may be to much toilet paper for one flush, it may over flow." My wife then called out to me to go do something else. I put the lid down and thought, well... that will be someone else's problem.

Just now my son comes out. "There is a whole roll of toilet paper in toilet!"

This is where it gets funny.

My wife blames him, he says "no I only went pee"

I then tell him to just put the lid down, wash his hands and I would be there in a minute.

Then my sister kindly blames a few of my girls asking in her sweet voice, "did you put toilet paper in the toilet?"

I am now laughing to myself, but the TV is on with the Color Show, these coloring crayons that fly around the screen coloring things, hence no one is paying attention to me. Then ultimately my sister went to the bathroom and fixed it.

Well, I totally shirked my responsibilities this time, and got a good laugh as all of my children took the blame for my mistake.

I happily leave this post to go clean something else with the surprise that I did not have to fix the toilet :-)
