My son is living in my mothers house, but most of the utility bills come to who else, dear ol' Dad.  Actually, most of the bills are pretty cheap.  I called him the other day and asked him, "are you having any problems with water over there...?"  He said, "no not really."  I said, "are you sure, you can't think of anything at all, drippy faucet or anything..?"  He responds, "Well, you know how you flush the toilet, it doesn't swirl any more."  Mmmm, no swirl...?  Ya mean, the water doesn't spin around...?  Noooo, it's really funny, there's hardly any water going around at all.  Mmmmmm, did you think to take the top off of the toilet and look inside to see what the problem is... Him, "I'll do it right now...!"  Hey, "that thing in the bottom is broke..!"  Ya mean the rubber flapper...?  Yeal...!  When did you notice it...?  Oh, just recently....  Well, ya know how you use the min. of 1000 gals of water a month..?  Yeal..!  Well, this month your presently up to 49,000 gals of water.  Buy a $3.00 rubber flapper and fix it....!!!!  But I don't know how...?  Geeez...!

Oh CHIT!!!!!

Wouldn't ya think at some point you'd hear 49,000 gals of water going down the drain..?  If he would have told me there was 4 foot of water in the basement, I would have believed him...

Usually toilets make enough noise to warrant some research, but I haven't ever had a leaky flapper

The worst part - it's so hard to get information, like there isn't a world wide web of information to search for stuff either - so you can't fault him for that

On the lighter side, here's a painting my 3 year old grandson painted the other day.  As much as I would like to hear, "he's great, he's smart, he's wonderful...," I'd really appreciate an honest evaluation.  I'm not sure what to make of it, because I have no idea what level a 3 year old would draw at.  In all honesty, he will be 4 in about 1 1/2 more months.  I asked him what it was, and he said it was his sister and plants.

Haha. My sons would be almost the same way. They'd know how to fix it, but they'd go months without noticing it was broken.

On the advanced side. Can't tell from the painting how advanced, but for a 3.5-year-old that's pretty good translation of and attention to detail and pretty good abstraction. The boy's smart, maybe has some innate artistic talent. Again, one artwork doesn't give much information, but the brain seems to be working right.

Agreed - everything seems to be on the same page, we just need a bigger sample size.

Awesome picture.  Seems like a pretty bright kid.  I've got 40 years on him and I can't do any better.

Maybe he should send the kid to fix the toilet

Certainly appears that way, I guess he really didn't have a good weekend.
