Yes, this is my normal life.

This morning wildernessguru went to take a leak, and called out, "Hey! You've got toilet bowl cleaning stuff in here!"

Ooops. I forgot.

So he's standing there in front of the toilet, pants down and dick aimed, complaining, "Hurry up" while I quickly grab the toilet brush and scrub, flushing the toilet. Because we can't waste... actually, I don't know why.

As the water swirls down I realize I missed a spot and automatically reach for it. "Hold on, I missed--"

But he's already peeing. "Wha-? Honey, I gotta, wait-!"

Fortunately, he just nailed the brush.

Not one of our more dignified moments, no.

Hahahahahaha. Peeing in the bowl cleaner would, um, cause the world to explode? Heh.

Yay dignity.

He didn't pee on it because I get mad when he does. I get mad because, because... I'm so behind on cleaning that the little I do I want to actually accomplish?

Or maybe there'll be a chemical reaction between... well, anyway.

Actually, urine contains small amounts of ammonia, so if the toiley bowl cleaner was bleach-based, there could theoretically have been a reaction that produced gaseous hydrochloric acid, resulting in a painful death as every mucuous membrane in your body was burned away.

...then again, the toilet tabs in our bathroom are supposed to have bleach is, and I'm not dead yet. So maybe not.

So I can tell him I saved his life, right?

Yeah, that'll go over big.

Icarus

[mad_maudlin]

Well, you can certainly try...

[jaig.livejournal.com]

Actually, I'd love to have that sort of thing. It's really- I dunno, nice to be all messy and a;sldfja;sdlfjs; in front of your significant other without either of you going EW.

[icarusancalion.livejournal.com]

Well, I did accidentally splash him when I pulled the toilet brush away. But he didn't get me so...

Icarus

[jaig.livejournal.com]

That's very fortunate.

wait a min... he wanted to pee... he's already in the bathroom where the soon-to-be-clean toilet was... and yet YOU had to go and clean the bowl?

wow.

Myself... or my mom... would just yell that the brush was behind the bowl, and don't forget to wipe the seat too!

[icarusancalion.livejournal.com]

Yeah. If I'd done that I would have heard this flushing sound and he'd apologize later, looking remarkably unremorseful.

Moments from 'how not to clean a house'?

[icarusancalion.livejournal.com]

*chuckles* I tell you. It's right up there with "shut off water before working on plumbing."

Icarus

[enname.livejournal.com]

*g* In fact you could almost use the exact same words as a warning for that particular prat fall too. At least are no electrical charges in plumbing. :)

So, could he not CLEAN IT HIMSELF? He's got some sort of wird condition that makes it IMPOSSIBLE for him to use a BRUSH?

[icarusancalion.livejournal.com]

We have a split between the chores. He does the kitchen, I do the bathroom. Often it works out to him doing the kitchen, laundry, cooking, sweeping, trash, defrosting the fridge, grocery shopping (I didn't even know how much we spent on groceries because I have done this in years), cat litter, and dishes.

I do the bathroom. Not very consistently.

It would be a bit unfair for me to demand that he clean the toilet, too.

Icarus

Erm..

[shezan.livejournal.com]

Okay, okay, okay, got a little carried away then...

*sheepish g*

Re: Erm..

[icarusancalion.livejournal.com]

Well, it's the obvious assumption to make. Most men don't do the lion's share of the cleaning. But things are a little reversed in this house.

Too funny.

Welcome to my life. The excitement. The glamour.

ROFL! And yet these little moments always make perfect sense at the time :-)

[icarusancalion.livejournal.com]

I have no idea why it was so darned important.

You can borrow mine. He's (mostly) housebroken.

ahahahahahaha.. i would be so horrified... at least you weren't peed on.. i am so glad you weren't peed on..

[icarusancalion.livejournal.com]

Oh, you and me both.
