Home Alone

The three sons (T who was 20, M who was 17,  R who15) were home alone

for the weekend.  When their parents left, the only thing they

said was, don't destroy the house. 

Brother T, had plans for the day.

Brother R had a series of soccer games.  Of the 

three boys, M was just Trouble.  M was never happy alone, never good at entertaining himself.

After all, he was the middle child and had never learned to art of  'me time.'

He waited another hour then decided to invite some friends over to his house.

M/Trouble was a follower not a leader...bad combination. 

His buddies arrived late afternoon.  

They kicked around a few ideas of some fun things to do!

No one ever admitted whose idea it was to put a cherry bomb in the upstairs commode just to see what it would do! 

 Ultimately the only one left after the event  M/Trouble was the only one there.

It was his house and his responsibility.

When Bro T got home, he saw a new commode  sitting in the middle of the kitchen

The kitchen ceiling, which was below the loo, had a huge wet spot on it.   

Bro T asked what in the %$#@/ happened.

Bro M was nonchalantly watching TV, as he told him.

Bro T went upstairs. The commode had a huge crack in it and the loo floor tile was buckled.  

Bro M bragged that he had remembered to turned off the water to the commode.

and he bought a new commode.

Brother M had the nerve to  asked Bro T to help him get the new one upstairs.

Bro T said nope, no use taking it up there the ceiling and floor will have to be repaired.

The next day the parents returned to this MESS/Bro M did not destroy the house..
just the 2nd floor loo. 

This is a true story...I received the cleaned up version of the conversation from the Mom.

Dad was livid, I knew better than to ask him.

Bro M had a part time job, not only did he pay for the new commode he paid for the ceiling and floor repairs in installments.

Often, when asked how many children he had, the dad would reply

I don't have children, I have boys!!

After the exploding commode caper, I fully understood what he meant.  Maybe in another FFF someday I'll share more
stories about Bro M.

2nd floor through the sky light (aka used to be over Angel Madi's Loo)

it's glory.
