Sunday-Ugh!

Yesterday started off as any other Sunday, a day of laundry and house cleaning. About noon time my husband decided he was going to clean the truck and take Zachary to Burger King. As they were on their way out the door the lady from upstairs was coming down with one of her kids. Visibly upset, she kept saying "Water, dripping, gas, you come see" OOOOkkkay! They are Portuguese and the parents speak very little English. So out of curiosity we follow her down to the basement and sure enough there is water all over the basement floor. So me, my husband , her and her lid are all standing there looking at water pour out of OUR hot water heater. The kid says "Is that yours or ours?" Hello dummy, it says 1st floor on it in big letters! Now don't be hard on me, they are adult children who drive and work. Yes, there are two adult children who live at home with their parents.

My husband says "It's ours" as he explains the writing on the furnace. So he shuts the water off and goes upstairs to call the landlord, Joe. Joe is a very nice man, old school Italian. Within 10 minutes Joe and his cry baby son, another adult who I swear still lives at home, are their. They determine that the pressure relief valve needed to be replaced. They leave to go home and call the repair man.

Now back to these ding dongs adult children that live upstairs. I haven't quite figured out the role they play. They lurked around the basement and then when the repair man came they lurked around while he fixed our furnace. First of all. you had no idea if it was even your furnace and second of all you didn't even shut the water off. Next time there is a problem with my hot water heater, come knock at my door, don't just stand there and watch the hot water pour all over the floor and hope that it will stop! I know that it is not your money going all over the floor, but it is mine! Besides, seeing as the two of you couldn't figure out how to use a snow blower, maybe you shouldn't try to figure out anything else! In all honesty, I don't think you guys are very bright! Second of all, it is time to leave the nest, move on with life. Mommy and Daddy need a break!
