The Faes take a bath seat

Once again the faes have to take a back seat. Not that they mind all that much. They have their own lives too, it's just that they are a little put out when they are not the center of attention.

I sent my daughter to Hawaii to see my other daughter. And you know how dads are when they send their children away for week or three. You know it, I am going to totally mess with her environment.

The problem is that most of the good pranks have already been done - everything but the mattress taken out of the bedroom, renting out their room, putting iron bars on the windows, stapling all their clothes to the ceiling (this really messes with them, they wake up thinking they are on the ceiling because the floor usually has the clothes spread all over).

But I had to do something. So after much pondering I realized that my daughter talks about living "green" but doesn't do much about it. She leaves lights on, we have to drive her all over creation, she will wash one pair of jeans instead of trying to make a full load. I am seriously worried about her growing up to be another Al Gore - talk green, walk (what color is outrageous waste of resources?).

So I decided to help her out. I invented the Tublet (toilet in the tub). The Tublet has many advantages: -

- it will save room in houses: smaller is better

- it only uses one drain pipe - saving precious resources

- and best of all: no need for even one square of toilet paper! move over Sheryl Crow.

Just one problem, I am still working out how to take a full bath (foot baths are no problem).


So, honey, I ripped out the toilet and now I have to cover that ugly hole in the floor. Do you think you could pick between these two tiles? Go ahead and click on them to get a larger pic. The top one has some nice texture that is a little hard to see in this picture.
