This picture is about two years old but since David did this chore today I thought I'd put it up for you. About once a month, sometimes more often, David has to empty our sewer. Our sewer is not directly connected with the local sewer system. He has to use a big "fire hose" to empty it out. Over the last two years he has gotten better at it and is not quite as stinky after he is finished as he used to be. One of the benefits of doing this is that our kids can't get away with anything. Last year for Christmas we had some peppermint patties sent to us by David's sister, Tara. Luke loved them. We try to give them sweets sparingly so we put them up and just gave them a piece occasionally. Well Luke decided we weren't given them frequently enough and hid in the bathroom and ate them. We found this out as David emptied the sewer because of all the peppermint patty wrappers that he found. Apparently Luke thought he could hide the evidence by flushing the wrappers down the toilet. He failed to realize that nothing gets past us parents, especially when dad has this as a monthly chore.
That is funny Chas.
ReplyDeleteI am glad you are starting a blog. I'm not on FB much anymore so I will be able to keep up with you here. Blogging is a lot of fun. I go through spells. I hope to update mine more often once we start school.
