she believes the garbage disposal is a magical, indestructible, insatiable, portal to another dimension. a dimension she will never vist or worry about.
in repeated conversation i have told her not to put anything inorganic and/or larger than her head and/or falling under the CWC's 1992 proposal to the conference on disarmament.
she nods her head in agreement and puts the bowling ball back in the closet till i am not looking.
in the past i have extracted bottle caps, coins, rings, bones, soil, plastic grocery bags and a few plutonium rods from the disposal.
this time, as i am reconnecting the pvc tubes under the sink, i can hear the dull moan of the vacuum cleaner in another room. suddenly, the moan turns to a high pitched mechanical scream that is interrupted by a loud plastic crack noise followed by complete silence.
another interdimensional portal needs a fixin.
shit.
