We will see

In Mom speak - "We will see" - usually means no.

It gives the asker of the question an answer - but it's not really an answer when you think about it.

It's a phrase that puts off the question until the answerer is pressed and then the answer generally turns out to be - "No".

In the world of contractors - they say "We will see" a lot. Because I am a Mom - I know that later on when I ask the same question he will say "No".

8:00 am - "Is the plumber showing up today? "

8:01 am - " We will see...."

Later that day......

5:00 pm - "Did the plumber show up?"

5:01 pm - "No."

So far in my world of remodeling - I have had a crew show up one day. Then disapear for two - just to show up in full force on the third day and then have them complain that there are too many people in the space for them to work.

I was told someone would show up on Saturday - then waited around until I was advised that they decided to come back on Monday.

It is now Monday and half the crew did show up - but that darn plumber....well, "We will see".

They are on a time crunch this week. There is a crew showing up on Thursday. The contractors work must be done by then or I must wait an additional two weeks.

I am now in motion for starting little fires under peoples asses. I wonder if that will work. "We will see".

On another side story of the groups of men in my house - I have decided that maybe they have visited Mexico.

In Mexico - there are signs everywhere - do no put toilet paper in the toilet - please use the sidecan.

It's a disgusting thought and as Americans we did so accordingly when we did the the Number 1. But - we couldn't bring ourselves to doing it for Number 2. We hoped for the best and flushed our poo and poo paper - crossing our fingers that it wouldnt clog. Mortified that then we would be caught for not reading and obeying the signs.

This weekend, I decided a little picking up was needed and I went around the house and straightened things up. Grabbed a garbage bag and started throwing out things that needed to go. A strange smell was coming from the bathroom area - but I assumed it was our Pig and cleaned out his cage. Then I went into the bathroom to clean the can out in there.

(Queasy stomachs may want to pass the next passage) I removed the lid to the trashcan and was greeted by someones poop rags. Yes! Someone actually wiped their ass and instead of putting it in the toilet and flushing it away into Neverland - they left me a present. I gagged and dumped the present into the large garbage bag. Can you believe it?!? Gross ass men - I swear.

I now have a permant image of said poop rag and - I need sometime to venture into the can again.

HB suggested that I leave a note as the Mexicans did for us, but this time it would say:

"If you wipe your ass - please use the toilet for which it was intended - FLUSH IT ALL!"

I don't know if that will work.

We will see.
