Don’t Repeat Yourself
The Wife plays tennis on some nights at our local park. On those nights I watch the kids. First, we clean up the mess they made on the floor, then I clean up the mess they made on themselves, and then they all go to bed. Last night while the kids where cleaning I had to go to the bathroom. While I was indisposed, my wife called and left a message asking us to bring her a bottle of water. After I got out of the bathroom, I saw the flashing light on the answering machine and played the message…
“Hello… Hello… Pick up the phone. When you get this message please bring me a bottle of water.”
As soon as I started to play the message The Tinkerer yells our “No. We are busy cleaning. This is the second time, now stop asking us mommy.”
