And You Lose Some

Here is a quick story of something that the Prairie Daddy got to do today.

He was washing up for lunch when his Clone entered the scene, prized coins in hand. And then, cha-ching, the coins were tossed into the sink and went right down the drain.

Now here is where you'll learn the difference in Prairie Daddy's and Prairie Mommy's personalities.

Prairie Daddy: "I'll have to pull the plumbing out under the sink after lunch to get those coins out."

Prairie Mommy: "Why? Can't you just leave 'em?"

Prairie Daddy: "Well they'll clog that sink if they get lodged in there the right way."

Prairie Mommy: "Aren't they a smaller diameter than the pipe?"

Prairie Daddy: "But they could still cause a clog if they're in the curve of the pipe."

And the Prairie Mommy refrained from saying, but was definitly thinking "Why not just wait and find out?"


Here is how the Prairie Daddy handled it:
Investigate the Sink Situation
Pull apart the pipes
Catch the coins, water, and other gross stuff in a bowl
Put everything back together again
My Prairie Man is so efficient. Thanks, honey.
