Yesterday morning Jay was in the kitchen, and I was in the den feeding Solon breakfast. All of a sudden I heard this yelp. I jumped up and asked Jay what happened. He sounded a bit gruff and said that he just sprayed himself with the sink sprayer on accident.
It made me think of my dad immediately. When my dad woke up in the morning, one of the first things he did was go to the kitchen sink and lean down to get a sip of water from the faucet. And he would do this periodically throughout the day. I am not sure if he did this so he wouldn't have to wash another cup...but whatever the reason it is one of the images I have of him in my mind. Anyway, Sally and Janie used to play this trick on him. They would wrap the sprayer with a rubberband so that water would come shooting out as soon as the faucet was turned...knowing full well who was going to get hit. So every once in a while you would hear this yelp from the kitchen, and it was my dad jumping back because he just got hosed unexpectedly:)
My dad has been gone 4 months today.
