Somebody's got some 'splaining to do....

After being at work all morning, I came home this afternoon and headed upstairs to tackle some schoolwork. Like any normal person, I also had to go to the bathroom. I walked in to the little upstairs bathroom that the Lil Bro and I share only to discover this....




So you're thinking, "Duh, MMSG. It's winter. That stuff is called snow. You got 13 inches of it yesterday. Why are you surprised by this??!" And, well, yeah. If I was outside, a hunk of dirty snow would have been no big deal.


But it was in my bathtub!!!



So, seeing as the Lil Bro is the only other person who uses this bathroom, I marched off to his room.

Me: "Come."

Lil Bro: "Huh?"

Me (leads Lil Bro to bathroom and points to snow)

Lil Bro: "It's snow."

Me: "It's IN MY BATHTUB!!!"

Lil Bro: "Yeah....?"

Me: "Explain, if you please?!"

Lil Bro (shrugs): "I dunno. Is the roof leaking?"

Me and Lil Bro pause and look up at ceiling. It is dry and leak-free.

Me: "Any other ideas?"

Lil Bro: "Check with Dad."

Me (marching downstairs, hands on hips)

Dad: "Yes?"

Me: "Let's play a game. It's called, 'Guess What's In My Bathtub That Doesn't Belong There.' You go first."

Dad: "Snow?"

Me: "Ding ding ding! We have a winner! And now for the bonus round: WHY?!?!"

Dad: "It was in the attic."

Me: "Great. That's fantastic. But, it's no longer IN the attic. It's IN MY BATHTUB! And it's DIRTY!"

Dad: "Indeed. I moved it from the attic. It's melting."

Me: "And you didn't feel the need to put it in YOUR bathtub?"

Dad (feigning shock): "Why, goodness, no! It's DIRTY!"
