We were only a few minutes into our 6:00 a.m. phone conversation when The Pony said:
"Is Dad still there? I'm going to send a video with a noise coming from my bathroom. I don't know what it is. I hope it's nothing in the walls, or something wrong with the wiring. I heard it when I woke up, and at first I thought it was the fans on my gaming computers running extra-loud. But the more awake I got, I realized it was coming from the other direction. My bathroom, not the living room. I'm going in there now."
I was getting read to receive that video, and hand the phone to Farmer H. But The Pony was talking again.
"Never mind. I found the problem. It was my toothbrush on the bathroom floor. Running. Somehow it jumped itself off the sink overnight or this morning. I don't know how long it was going. But now it won't work since I picked it up and turned it off."
"The charge is probably used up. It might have been going for a while."
"Yeah."
"Bummer. You'll have to move your arm to brush your teeth now!"
Not a big deal. Certainly less worrisome than a critter in the walls, or a problem with the wiring. Still, one more obstacle to The Pony starting his workday.
Not to mention how that toothbrush ended up on the floor, running....
The Pony needs one of those brackets on the wall to hang his toothbrush in.
ReplyDeleteRiver,
DeleteI don't know what model toothbrush The Pony has. It might sit on some kind of charger. Farmer H could figure out how to mount it on the wall, but that doesn't mean "something" couldn't still knock off the handheld part!
