I can't stand the drain
Everyone knows Moos has dark, beautiful hair. I have the great pleasure of seeing it everyday — in the drain.
Because it’s strong and curly, Moos’ hair refuses to go down the drain as it should. Rather, it coils up on top of the drain into a clump that I often pull up and throw away as part of my morning routine.
I quickly became accustomed to the ritual. I figure it’s one of the few consequences of sharing a bathroom with a Wife. After two years of this, I hardly noticed the inconvenience until… Amanda moved in.
Now that I’m sharing a bathroom with TWO girls, I’m dealing with DOUBLE the drain hair.
Amanda’s hair doesn’t leave as great of a clump, but like a dusting of snow it’s enough to talk about. She showers at night where as Moos and I shower in the morning (that reads inappropriate) so now I have drain hair in plain sight morning and night. I now associate drain hair with when I brush my teeth. Nice, huh?
I know the girls try to grab the hair after their showers, and I’ve heard of the “I stick the hair on the wall and swirl it” method of drain hair prevention. Still, there’s nearly always a rebellious group of hair clinging to the purgatory between sanitary and sewage.
When Amanda and I move into the new house over the next few weeks, I imagine I’ll see less drain hair. By design, Amanda’s straight, brunette hair can’t do the same damage as Moos’ dark curly locks. And in an odd, clinically weird way, I might miss that… but probably not.
I just stopped eating… thanks for that!
I survived and lived to tell about co-existing with a wife and four daughters – for many years having only one bathroom. It builds character, Paolo, such as patience, a strong stomach, and the value of “Liquid Plumber.”
We buy Liquid Plumber as often as we do milk!
Ewwww. There’s nothing grosser than drain hair, but girls can’t help it! I hate it when I shower at the gym, and there’s some stranger’s clump of hair at the bottom. At least you know these girls and think of them fondly!
P.S. I LOVE the Missy Elliott post title. Wicka, wicka, ‘gainst my window, I can’t stand the rain! Beep beep, who’s got da keeps to my Jeep. VROOOM. Lol.
The gym shower hair is the worst! Everytime I shower (at the gym) there is not only hair in the drain, but hair swirled on all sides of the walls!
On the other side of the coin, Jeremy seems to shave once a week and when he does, his bead hair is sprinkled all over the sink. Definately not as easy to clean up as a clump.
My bad, beard hair, not bead hair.
@Je The Missy track is hot! I was wondering who would pick up on that.
I thought you didn’t agree with living in sin.
I wouldn’t prefer it in a perfect world and wouldn’t recommend it for an extended period of time, but considering some economic constraints and timing with the new house, it’s our best option.
Remember, Anna, I’m an idealist and that’s usually my perspective in debates.
Know who’s also an idealist? Our country’s greatest leader: GWB.
