The day dad decided to do it
himself
“Damn this stupid thing. Not again!,” I heard mum say.
Even without popping my head inside the kitchen I knew
that it was the dish-washer making trouble again. That
was the third time this month.
I hate it when the dish-washer breaks down, because I
would end up doing the washing. Mum had given up hope
on the dish-washer. But is not dad! He loves it when
something breaks down in the house. He is always out to
prove that he is the handy man around the house. After
the amount of money he had paid to have the dish-washer
repaired, I was sure, he wouldn’t believe in anymore
repairs. I was wrong.
When he got home and found out about the dish-washer,
he was all ready to try out the new too-set my uncle had
bought for me recently.
He started working on the dish-washer soon after wards.
The first thing he laid his hands on was the motor. God
knows how he managed to get it out. This was preceded
by a lot of banging and hammering. My mum and I spent
the evening in the living-room, away from the noise. My
mum did not quite mind the mess my dad was making,
because the dish-washer was not functioning well anyway,
even before it decided to go on “strike” that day for the
third time.
