That Predictable?
Saturday night Scott was washing dishes while I was changing litterboxes in the laundry room just off the kitchen. I heard him make a noise, the chinking of the dishes stopped for a second, then, "I don't know what the fuck that is, but it looks distinctly like something of yours."
I went into the kitchen & peered into the sink. A largish, wet blob lay in the bottom of the basin. I didn't know what the fuck it was either, and I wasn't about to touch it. I said as much. "Just wash it down the drain or something." I returned to the litter boxes then trotted back out to where Scott was still regarding the unwelcome flotsam & snatched it out of the sink & threw it in the garbage. "I remember now - it's a bit of moss from the orchid!" Then back to the laundry room.
Then I heard, "Well?? I was right, wasn't I? Nothing that I would eat would have something like THAT come off it."

Funny how the similarities continue. I, too, find the occasional weird blob of goo floating around in the sink. I'm glad I'm not the only one. Tell Scott I feel his pain.
Haha! I will. He'll be glad someone understands.
I just think it's funny he thought you were eating orchids...if i read that right anyway...
Heh! no no - he didn't think I was eating orchids, but he doesn't do anything in the sink unless it involves rinsing dinner plates or washing them so he knew the bit of debris wasn't his.
I, on the other hand, wash cats & the snake's bowl, change fish bowls, & water plants in the sink. Sometimes there's a bit of snakeskin (not hygienic in the least, I'm sure) or a fish bowl pebble thingie or, in this case, orchid moss, left over from my activities. It's just that usually I catch it before he does!
I wanted to wash the pup in the kitchen sink, you'd have thought i wanted to pee in there, the better half was not having it!
That's what's funny about us - he's always wanting to use the "good" towels for things that I say "Don't you DARE!" among other things that I count as a lack of common sense and then I turn around & wash cats & snake bowls in the same sink we wash our food dishes in.... I figure the sink washes, the grease stains aren't coming out of the good towels...
common sense on his part that is... of course!
