a shit storm for the ages
My 10YO has completely taken over my bathroom. He spends an inordinate amount of time in there, it has apparently become his little sanctuary. Okay, I can share, we all gotta deal with this in our own ways, right? So he likes taking these long luxurious “princess baths” as I call them, which is fine, but then he leaves his dirty clothes and toys all over the floor, and I guess it’s okay because I’m a chambermaid now or something?
Most recently he left a toy gun on the floor. A stupid toy gun I had refused to buy, but that one of his rotten aunts got him anyway. It wasn’t even a nerf gun (which I also refuse to buy). No, it’s a toilet paper gun. You mount a roll of TP to the top and fill this small tank on the bottom with water and through the magic of toy gun machinery, you get ammunition made from little wads of wet toilet paper.
This being a piece of cheap plastic junk, it never worked all that well and sat under the bed for a long time. He recently rediscovered it, because what better time to play with a toilet paper gun than a global pandemic where we are stuck inside all the time AND there’s a shortage of toilet paper!
The water tank part mysteriously vanished (where o where could it be), so sadly he is unable to make any bullets. That hasn’t stopped him from leaving it everywhere, including the bathroom floor. But I did just notice the name of it, and it makes me laugh.
So from now until forever ends, this dark dank period of time will be known as the Sheet Storm of 2020.
