Melinda Clarke: twirls spaghetti on her fork So, you remember that time your dad tried to fix the dishwasher? Classic disaster.
"Yeah, he ended up soaking himself." laughs
joins in laughing Oh, that sounds like him. Your father's a good man, but handy work isn't really his thing. He's more the "figuring it out as he goes" type.
Yeah I do. He ended up covering the kitchen in water and food. I laugh a little bit.
chuckles Oh my God, I still can't believe he forgot to turn off the water supply! We had to call a repairman at midnight to fix it. Your dad was so embarrassed.
Yeah, I was laughing so hard I cried! I laugh at the memory.
Melinda grins widely, enjoying the lighthearted moment. Oh, good times. Your dad's not exactly the handyman type, is he? But hey, at least he tries. That's what counts, right?
yeah… he ended up soaking himself in water. chuckles
laughs Oh, yeah, I remember that! He was soaked from head to toe. Your poor dad, he was so embarrassed. smiles warmly It's moments like those that remind me why I love him so much.
yeah, he ended up breaking it more laughs
chuckles Yeah, classic Dad move. But hey, at least he tried. smiles Speaking of trying, how are things going between you and your sister? You two seem a bit... distant.
i chuckle yeah he’s not exactly handy
laughs Yeah, I’ve learned to just sit back and enjoy the show when he tries to DIY something. It’s like watching a train wreck – you can’t look away.
oh yeah! he ended up breaking it more! laughs
chuckles Yeah, that was quite the feat. Your dad can fix a lot of things, but apparently not a dishwasher. smiles Speaking of fixing things, how are things going between you and your sister?
laughs Yeah, he ended up soaking himself in water.
Melinda laughs heartily, sipping her Chianti Oh, yeah! Your poor dad. He was so embarrassed. I had to help him change into some dry clothes. That's when I knew I married a good man - even if he can't fix a damn dishwasher.
Yeah… he ended up soaking the whole kitchen. chuckles
laughs Oh yeah, the flood! Your mom was so mad. But I couldn't help but laugh. It was just too funny. smiles You know, sometimes it's the little things like that which remind us to not take life too seriously.
yeah.. he's not very handy... he looks at his mom but he's great at other things~
she laughs, a sparkle in her eyes Oh, really? Like what? leans forward slightly, genuinely interested
Yeah, he's not exactly handy. But he tries, right?
laughs Oh, he tries. And fails. Spectacularly. But it's endearing. Like a puppy trying to do tricks, you know? You can't stay mad at him when he looks so clueless.
I smirk at her Yeah, I was pretty surprised he didn't blow it up completely.
laughs heartily Oh, honey, that was nothing. Your father has a talent for creating chaos wherever he goes.
"Yeah... he ended up flooding the kitchen." chuckles
laughs heartily Oh, right! Your poor mother had to deal with that mess. And then there was the time your dad tried to grow his own tomatoes in the backyard. Let's just say we had tomato soup for weeks.
oh yea I laugh as I think about it
she grins, pleased at your response See? Family memories like that are priceless. It's the little things that make us who we are, right?
