Today's Episode: Fun With The Kitchen Sink

Glory be, our kitchen sink is finally fixed! After almost 2 weeks of not having one, it is finally working again. And since you all want to know, even though you won't admit it, here is the amazing story of:

The Kitchen Sink That Got Fixed

Once upon a time, there was a lovely couple who were getting ready to make a long awaited trip to the forest to visit their long-lost relatives. They had saved a little bit of money, and were quite excited to go. But the Kitchen Sink had other plans for them. He decided to set a little trap. He plotted and planned for months, almost getting caught once, but was able to bluff his way out of it. And so the night before their departure arrived, the the lovely couple was none the wiser to his evil plan. Finally the hour was at hand, and he set the wheels in motion. As the lovely half of the couple was doing the dishes in the sink, so that they wouldn't sit there and stink up the place while they were gone, the drain suddenly disengaged its self from the sink, allowing all the water in the sink to spray out all over the inside of the cabinet.


The kitchen sink was so happy to see the frustration and anger of the lovely half when she saw what had happened. As her, the better half, and the room mate were all trying to figure out what to do, he then started to drip at the back of the cabinet. Upon the discovery and subsequent investigation of this drip, he let loose another barrage of water as he opened a hole he had carefully fashioned in a hidden spot.


The cursing and yelling were quite exuberant after that. The Kitchen Sink was quite satisfied that he had foiled their plans to enjoy their vacation. But the lovely couple had other plans. The left the Kitchen Sink, all taken apart, for a whole week, and they enjoyed their visit to their long-lost relatives in the forest very much, not thinking about the Kitchen Sink at all. But when they returned, they began to make plans for revenge upon the sink. He knew that something was up, and was wary of them, but was taken by surprise when they came upon him with a pipe wrench.




It was his one weak spot, and there was nothing he could do. So a great majority of his pipes were replaced with shiny, new, plastic pipes, and a brand new drain, that had good souls, unlike his evil one. The Kitchen Sink was in agony. He was being replaced, little by little! But he had one last trick up his sleeve before he would go. He refused to drain. The lovely couple tried everything to get him to drain for them, short of begging, but he didn't budge. For 4 days they fought, until finally, the sink was mortally wounded in the clog, and he died. But he was resurrected as a brand new Kitchen Sink by the shiny, new (and clean) pipes, and now he and the lovely couple are happy, content, and treat each other with respect.


So yeah, that was stupid. I hope you liked it anyway. Fixing that stupid sink was the worst, so I'm going to go treat myself to a Dr Pepper. To The Man, the Payson Friends, and the Roommate, I say, Thank you. The war would not have been won without your great sacrifices.

  1. Hey Girl: In addition to being a master herbalist, please give some thought to also being a children's author! That kitchen sink evil vs. good story was so funny and kids of all ages would love it. I know you will be an excellent herbalist because you have already shown that ability to us, but the story-writing has definite possiblities, too. :) Also...cell phones? good only for emergencies, othewise, too time-consuming when you could be doing more important things. Loved your Dream/Goal about being a good Mom and so will your kids! And that 6-yr. plan? It's the best ever. Yah! She bakes! And with success! We love muffins...how about some raspberry ones for our visit in July? Thanks for that gift suggestion hint. Lots of love from Mom and Dad
