Flood: Yes, well, he actually started by doing a good thing. See, we have a fountain in the living room. (I really don't get the point; it's unnecessary, it looks really tacky, the whole thing's actually kind of dirty, and it's hard to walk around it because it's stupidly big for such a small room.)

Water, as I'm sure you all know, evaporates. So every once in awhile somebody has to fill it again, and this is usually done with a hose. So, one day while my mom was shopping for groceries, my dad decided to fill up the fountain. He dragged the hose inside, stuck it in the fountain, and turned on the faucet. Then he turned on a baseball game. And sat down on the couch. And fell asleep.

Imagine the look on my mom's face when she came home to find that her hardwood floors had become the bottom of a lake.


CEB: I would love to participate, but as I told Plantae yesterday, I can't this round because I'm going to be out of town for a couple of weeks starting in late May. When I return home in June, though, I look forward to getting back in the game.


Gavin: Yeah, yeah. Laugh it up! >_>


Ada: Believe me, I've had those for almost a week. It's been painful!


Gabi: Well, I'm back in the attic right now, and I just finished setting up my computer. So things are returning to some semblance of normalcy. And once we can take the sofa and bookcases from the kitchen and remove the queen-size bed from my parents' bathtub, it'll be really nice!


Faiz: ...The line about "hanging in there" made me picture myself dangling from a ceiling fan to avoid a river rushing through the hallway.
