Ok,
so you come home after one night …
you expect nothing really has happened, since; nothing ever happened in weeks, so what will happen in a short night?
Then you climb the stairs,
and you find Bob,
its’ stem stretched out on the soil of his little pot,
crippled, … like a bird that suddenly lost its wings in midair and fell down to earth.
The toothpicks, meant to support its slow growth, scattered on the cabinet…
After tedious attempts to reanimate Bob, gently building a harness of toothpicks around him.
I went down to ask what the heck y father had done (couldn’t have been my mother since she’s sick and has to stay in bed).
My father, of course, plays the bent bunny;”I have no idea what you’re talking about, I haven’t been to your room, only to open the window, so maybe the wind … it was very windy …” Hmmm, I consider the enourmous strength of the imaginary huricane my father tries to envision there, and the miracoulous fine state in which our roof still is…
But I know; not gonna hear anything usefull out of him…
So; back up the stairs … find my batteryloader upside down on my desk … Strange, because it’s supposed to be in the cabinet on which bob resides… The cabinet which is a bit overloaded (as most of my cabinets (Me = Clutter)), so when you pull out a drawer it starts falling over …
Then I open the charger and find 3 alkaline batteries inside … You know, those with large letters printed on them, saying; “NEVER RECHARGE, MAY EXPLODE” …
Story in short; I figured what happened;
Dad needs new batteries for my mother’s bloodpressure-meter.
Dad finds alkaline batteries and finds they don’t work.
Dad pulls out drawer to get charger.
Cabinet topples.
Bob gets crushed.
Dad gets charger out of drawer, ignoring Bob, and puts drawer back in, then puts cabinet back up straight, and puts alkaline batteries in charger.
Since he doesn’t want to wait 11 hours for batteries to load, goes to store to get batteries … Thereby saving my room from being covered in acid and catching fire, burning down the house.
My father, of course, denies everything …
Conclusion; Some people are idiots.
Idiots get away with everything …
