Where's the drain
Yesterday, I watched Herbie and Big Weld for a little while. My Mom was in the hospital so we walked across the street to visit her. She cant walk very far so there was a commode close to her bed. I sat down on a chair and Big Weld crowded up as close to me as he could. He took everything in but didn't say a word. Herbie on the other hand noticed that Gigi (great grandma) had crooked toe nails. Then he asked where her shoes were. Then his inquisitive eye landed on the commode. He asked what it was. I said it was a potty chair for Gigi because she couldn't walk very far. He said "where's the flusher". I explained that it didn't need a flusher because there was a bucket under the seat and the bucket was dumped into the toilet. He said again. "where's the flusher". I explained again about the bucket. He asked a couple more times where the flusher was and then he understood that part of the potty chair. Then he asked "where's the drain". I explained again about the bucket and that the nurse empties the bucket into the toilet. He examined the potty chair quite closely and asked where the drain was a couple more times. Finally, he understood how the potty chair worked and then he wanted to see the bathroom. I showed him where to look saying "don't touch anything". He studied the toilet and the shower pretty closely and then smiled at me and they both were ready to go see the fish tank. Big Weld never said a word. Oh, I just remembered I was going to tell K to look in their coat pockets before she washed them because they had quarters for the candy machine and I put the candy in the pocket of their coats. Well, I dont think that will be as messy as the gum was. Oops!!
