graf#3

This is an inventory of the west wall of the kitchen/dining room. Everything is on the floor and piled between two doorways. Moving from the south end, (where I’m sitting) toward the north.
A Craftsman 18V drill and flashlight set in a black case.
A Crescent tool set that was given to me by my employer three years ago for x-mas.
A new, 44 Qt. flip top trash can that is full of new switches and outlets, not trash.
An old Wal-Mart bag full of new and used outlets.
A baby’s toy with different beads on rails to push around.
A baby’s toy piano that only plays four notes.
A car seat made for a child up to one year old.
Sitting in the car seat is a package of cheap size four diapers.
A large stuffed tigger from Winnie the pooh.
A”busy box” complete with pop-up animals.
A stand up walker for learning one foot in front of the other.
A Ridged 3.5 HP shop vacuum.
On top of the shopvac is a pair of rubber reinforced knee pads.

The people that live in this house are either very busy or very lazy, maybe both. Kids obviously tie up most of their time along with never-ending home improvement projects. Why would he have old power outlets mixed in with baby toys? How easy would it be for the baby to get one confused with a rattle? The next thing you know it’s in his mouth, not a good combination. Put the shopvac away, you’re not even using it any more, remember to clean it out first. Use the trash can for its intended purpose, trash, not new stuff that you’re going to use. He’ll probably open it up and find old banana peels mixed in with the switches, yummy. Bottom line, take care of your crap before you’re wife does or else it will never be found again.

You've got the difficult humor thing working here! Three smiles from grumpy engteach:
