Today it is Sid's time to shine. For obvious reasons, I keep my phone turned off at work. When I did get a chance to check it in the afternoon, I realized I had a missed call from Sid, which was quickly followed up by a flurry of texts.
"Mummyyy". Never good.
"I fucked the toaster up, you need to order a new one please". Just how?
"Dad can explain later" How did he get involved ?
"Never mind I ordered one"
Turns out she ordered the same style as the one she had destroyed. That would be fine except, unfortunately I had hated that toaster - terrible design. So I told her to cancel it, and I'd order one instead. I logged on to Amazon and found a lovely toaster in a pretty pale green. A nice pop of colour for the kitchen, I thought. I sent a picture to Rob, turns out he assumed I was joking. Once he realized I actually liked it, he reminded me I'm colour blind and it was actually a terrible shade of green. I cancelled that one and ordered a boring black one.
The next morning, I was in the shower when Rob came in to tell me that there was, and I quote "A fucking line up of toasters on the porch". Oops. I see Amazon returns in my near future.
Oh, I almost forgot, just how did Sid fuck up the toaster ? Rob had made some bagels, Sid took one from the plastic container, put it in the toaster on high, then promptly put the plastic container down ON TOP OF THE TOASTER. So not only did melted plastic drip down on the bagel within the toaster, the remaining bagels in the container were destroyed as well. Honestly, I can't make this stuff up.
