am i speaking a foreign language???

[LIZZIE LOU]

ok...i've been getting my house ready to put on the market.  one of the things i did was to replace the countertops, sinks and faucets in the bathrooms.  that was done about a week ago.

so...a little while ago...at 7:15 p.m. (est) i told my husband that i "thought" that the sink in our bathroom might be leaking.  of course...he asked "why?"  my reply was..."because when i went to get a new roll of toilet paper out from underneath the sink...it was wet."

hhhhuuummm...it is now 45 minutes later and he is still sitting in the same exact position that he was when i told him.  do i speak a foreign language?  did he NOT understand what i just said?  does he care that it might be leaking?  better still...is he waiting for ME to fix it?  

MEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  (sorry to the men on here)

well, you probably don't want to call a plumber seeing as how it is a holiday weekend. do you want me to call you husband for you? LOL! just joking...I hope it gets fixed before I wake up in the morning...gotta get to bed!

As a long term male drug addled plumber i would say that you need to place more rolls of toilet paper under the sink. Sometimes these operations can be quite delicate so you may need more toilet paper to absorb the supply of water available........

Theeagle..............LOL LOL

Lizzie,   I think Joanne is right. I have in the past, done some research on this subject with my husband. I found that if you tell him his weiner is really big and a marvelous specimen, he'll immediately go fix the leak.

I have found you must be very, very direct with men.   They don't get things like......I think we have a leak.  I found .........Go fix the leak now !.......works much better. lol

You guys CRACK me up! I love it Eagle!!! That is perfect and also sounds like something my drunken father in law would do.
Magi & Mary are also right....men are delicate flowers and we must handle them carefully!

thanks eagle...i will NOW remember to always keep extra rolls on hand for times like this...lololol

ok...at 11:15 last night (4 hours after initial complaint)...husband was standing at "sink in question", brushing his teeth.  no longer able to stand it...the following conversation took place.

me..."sooooooooooo, what was wrong with the sink?"

husband (with dumb look on his face)..."i dont know yet"

me..."it's been 4 hours since i told you.  is there a date i can mark on the calendar when you WILL look at it?"  by the way (and this is what got his attention)...your travel shave kit is under there and it is soaking wet"  (and i walked away)

i gave him about 2-3 minutes and walked past the bathroom door...just to have a look.  husband was "looking" under the sink...lolol

i'm glad to report that my sink is fixed :)  MEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
