Dear Reader,
I'm a human divining rod. Just let me loose and if there's water nearby, I'm your gal. There are a lot of things in life that you can't count on, but if there's a melted ice cube on the floor, and I'm in my stocking feet, I'll find it first and step right in it. Yep, put your money on me, because it's a safe bet.
If the cat's tipped over his water dish, (at least that's what I'm hoping it was) or if my husband forgot to get a towel before he got into the tub, soggy socks aren't far behind. I'll be all over his trail of wet footsteps. I hate wet socks.
Our house is historical--built in 1926 with a flat roof--and every time it rains, my husband sends me on the hunt for possible leaks. "Put your socks on Suzanne, it rained last night." He's always so proud when I find a leak.
Now I admit I've always dreamed of having a claim to fame, but water and soggy socks weren't really what I'd envisioned. Nevertheless, when you're good, you're good, and word of my talent is spreading.
Our neighbors called the other day. They'd been smelling mildew in their house, but they couldn't find the water leak. Could I make a house call?
Thanks for reading with me. It's so good to read with friends.
I hate that!!! There's always water on the floor in the kitchen...and of course I happen to step in it. I guess because i love being in my socks.
I think your Dear Reader article today was great...it was actually amusing to read
