Rules Of Engagement #4

Rules Of Engagement/Marriage


Ok.  I like to think I am pretty good at doing simple things.  You know.  Cleaning up after myself. (Sometimes) and keeping my dirty laundry in an organized mess on the floor.  Even putting the seat down.  But, according to my wonderful fiance, I sometimes fail to put the toilet seat down…. Like last night.

For those of you who don’t know, Due to some circumstances and timing, I crash at Andrea’s mother’s house.  Andrea is so sweet, she sleeps on the couch, and allows me to sleep in a bed.  So, I guess last night before I went to bed I forgot to put the toilet seat down.  (Whoops)

At 4:00 am, Andrea found herself falling into (or almost falling into) a toilet.  (Whoops again)

So.  Rules of Engagement #4.

Remember to put the seat down if you want your wedding to still happen.  Apparently women don’t like falling into the toilet. (who knew?)

    yeah, I use to do that ALL THE TIME. Wifey would get upset. I kept telling her that it was just as easy for her to LOOK before squating as it was for me to put the seat down.

    but now I have a daughter that is 6. She doesn’t always look before she squats…I’ve had to rescue her a few times. :) And my son – hes 3 – never looks. So, now I have to put it down not just for the wife- but so my kids don’t drown. :)

    Later,

    Just think man, in 10 years she’ll put it down herself cuz she’s tired of tellin ya. :-) Or, if you’re like me, you’ll leave it up on purpose and have the video camera set up so when she falls in you have it on tape!! Now, that’s classic!! I have like 3 of them :-) .

    Oh man. I didn’t think about kids. Crap. I found something online that was like a foot lever, and you step on it and it lowers the seat. Then I just think, that might be something else to clean… I don’t know. You would think there would be a simple solution wouldn’t you?

    I should invent.

    It’s a little tricky, and you’ll have to change the wording, because I’m pretty sure it was written by Japanese or Chinese person or something. It’s awesome though. If you have questions, email me. laustandphound [at] gmail [dot] com…. I can help you out. This is one of my favorite plugins, Toby actually introduced me to it.

    So… marriage is about compromise. I guess we all know that. The toilet seat is one way to compromise. The way we do it is this: everyone, no matter what their desired toilet position, shuts the toilet completely when they leave.

    This has lots of benefits: the cat never falls in (you know our cat would), both of us have to do something so neither of us can accuse the other of toilet seat laziness, and Kiera never has an excuse for falling in the toilet (since women seem to look for these excuses).

    I would recommend giving that a try.
