Break what I can.

As it's my parents anniversary, I came home from work today and thought "I'll do some cleaning to help them out." Check the sink, clean the dirty dishes - step one done.

Onto the bathroom. I have now wiped down part of the shower and decide to turn on the shower to help aid the rinsing of cleaning products. EASY! Until... I begin playing around with one of the shower heads to angle it better for said rinsing. SNAP! :( There goes the one of the shower heads. Oh, but even better there is still cleaning residue in the shower. Well, I'll be.

I look at the shower head and assess its brokenness. Yup, as I thought. It's broke, broken. So, I text my dad to let him know. Continuing on my way I finish rinsing the residue and move to the toilet. Get some spray, take the toilet brush, let's go! I'm using the toilet brush and scrubbing. All of a sudden what do you suppose I hear? CRACK! Ugh, there goes the handle....

With the shower head already in the sink I toss in the now broken toilet brush as well, snap a picture with my phone and off to my dad it goes. At this point, I cannot help but laugh. The "oh crap" feeling has left my body and mind allowing "I can't believe this." to set in. Laughing to myself I think "what's next?" And my dad wonders the same thing. I inform him that I will let him know when it happens.

After fixing my previous breakings, I go to turn on our electric water heater (basically an electric kettle). But to my dismay, the button was already pushed down and the light isn't on. Well, that's odd... So I flick the button up and back down. Still nothing. Damn, not again... I open the top and sniff. Smells like something is burning. Yup, another thing is broken.

"Dad, just so ya know, this is broke too." Three things broken. One day. Well, that was successful.

My perspective started as "You have got to be kidding me." and ended with the same statement. The first far worse than the last. The more it happened the more it became like a joke to me. I wasn't trying to break anything, but if it's breakable I guess the best thing is for it to be broke. And that's just what I did. So yes, my day was successful. How was yours?
