Actual conversations at Casa de Wellman-Social Distancing Era

You might have heard about the toilet paper hoarding issue going on in the US. I decided I had THE. SOLVE. for that nonsense.

I bought a bidet on Amazon.

Of course, as I was in the course of trying to get the bidet from my cart to paid for, it sold out. On three different bidets, so clearly I’m not the only one that had that lightbulb moment.

So it came in, and Rick, after a minimum of nagging, installed it.

And came into the room, gesturing at it with mischief.

Rick- It’s ready for the road test.

Me- Oh no no no no. Don’t you remember what happened when Ronny put the new brakes on the van? We put EVERYONE INCLUDING HIM in to test drive it.

Rick- I don’t think that’s going to work for this situation.

Me- But but but… you installed it, you should test it.

Rick- I don’t need to right now. And you said you did, which is why I needed to install it. (I did say minimum of nagging.)

Me- But it’s your work!

Rick- But more of the settings are geared for you. /evil grin

Me- /sigh FINE.

I’m pleased to report that all is in functioning order.

 

Bonus conversation-

Rick offered to take me with him on an errand today, and let me wait in the car. I’m classified high risk, so I’ve been in for the past.. oh.. 19 days or so. But you know, who’s counting?

 

Me- So it’s like I’m getting to go for a ride like I’m a dog?

Rick, grinning- Pretty much.

Me, grumbling but still getting into the truck- It is kind of a nice day.

Rick, watching me stare avidly out the windows at all the signs of spring- I’m almost surprised you aren’t rolling down the windows and sticking your head out.

Me- Imma gonna hafta tell ever’body that I gots to go for me a car ride today. Mebbe I’ll even git to honk the horn!

Cue a truck in front of us almost taking off the front bumper.

Me- I AM AGONNA GIT TO HONK THE HORN! ASSHOLE!

Rick cracked the windows on the way home.

Me- I almost kinda do want to stick my head out.. of course, with my luck, that’s how I’d catch covid.

Rick just laughed.
