Breaking the pipe at your dad's home on the holidays: anecdote

[Aymara]

I posted this for somebody here... but it seems the holidays bring the blues... LOL

An anecdote with the hope it makes you feel better. I live in the capital of one of those politely called "developing nations" and I've spent the past 4 days in my dad's house in the countryside, where rats are the size of armadillos.

On Wednesday about 10.30 pm I decided I'd had enough sneezing and began to clean the room with special cleaners... too bad there are two pipes that cross the room from first to second floor inconveniently placed on the corner of the room.

I don't know why, but as soon as the broom touched the pipes, the smaller one gave off and it there was a shower inside the room (that is the pipe that takes water upstairs, the larger one (which remained in place) brings it down). I heard my dad shout my name from in front of his computer and after I explained that , inexplicably, it was raining in the room; he had to give up on GOT to close the main water line outside the house, in a sector where there's poor light and plenty of vegetation, while calling me everything he knew.

I was happy to be able to do that at the age of 39 and know for sure he wouldn't ground me afterwards. It was only the following day that he could properly fix it. Happy Easter to me.
