| An entire note comprised of sentence fragments with punctuation? Talent. |
I had two reactions to this note:
1. Why didn't anyone ask me to help clean the basement since the leak ruined my stuff?
2. How often do most people clean the fridge?
In regards to the first question, I had this conversation with the Younger Sister (YS):
Me: I had no idea the leak was that bad! I would have helped clean...
YS: Oh, no problem. It's happened before. That pipe is just really old.
Me: Oh...
YS: We tried to save most of your stuff...it's drying downstairs. But we had to throw some of it out, like all the paper stuff.
Me: Um, ok.
To be fair, most of the stuff downstairs is down there because I don't actually need it. And throwing out wrapping paper that I've carted with me from my last three apartments is probably a good thing.
I'm more concerned with when I asked to put the file box of tax records in the basement, I was directed to place it in the corner with a history of flooding sewage.
I'm also still unclear as to why the note seems to evoke feelings of guilt when clearly none of this was my fault.
Other things I'm unclear on include the second question. Because washing the shelves of the fridge once a month seems excessive to me.
Then again, you can't make much of a mess when you only have a container of butter on your tiny shelf.
