The other day I went looking for our plunger as we were having yet another plumbing emergency thanks to our lovely septic system….. And, as luck would have it, the mighty plunger was nowhere to be found. After not finding it in the cabin, I went over and looked in the main house with no luck. Just to be thorough I checked the two travel trailers and ended my search after checking both garages…the plungers were officially missing. I finally gave up and asked Jason since I knew he was the last one to use it in the main house where the most recent plumbing emergency occurred not too long ago. I asked him where in the world he put it when he was done as I had been looking pretty much everywhere I thought a plunger could possibly be and detailed out my hide and seek search around our property. He said
“I don’t know, did you check outside on the ground?” to which I replied “Why would I look outside on the ground????”
Starting to get impatient he said “Sometimes I throw it out the window when I’m done.”
I think I stood there with my jaw on the ground for a full 20 seconds….processing that one statement.
“You mean you threw it out the bathroom window? ”
“Yeah, I do that sometimes… Don’t you? ”
No. I don’t. I can honestly say that thought has NEVER even occurred to me. My very next thought was “thank God we live out in the country were neighbors are not super close so that they can’t wonder with amazement at a plunger flying out the window.”
The missing plungers showed up a few days later….probably having been drug off by the dogs after their flight out the window….
