“There’s ANOTHER one??” my 10 year-old son asked. His eyes got bigger and his jaw dropped. I admit, it took me a few seconds to catch up.
“Another what?”
“Another sister.”
“What are you talking about? I have one sister; you have two.”
“What about the one in the basement??” He was worried now. I was checking him for obvious signs of a head injury. I’d been talking about using rinsewater from laundry to water the gardens, and he was asking about missing siblings. That’s when it hit me. I laughed so hard, tears almost ran down my leg. When I caught my breath, I explained what a cistern does.

Just hilarious.
Reminds me that I recently read a Dollar Barn ad in the Shopper waaay too quickly and thought your sis stocked nail polish in puppy poop color.

Bahahahaha! Wouldn’t surprise me…
PS:We had a Cocker Spaniel that ate crayons, so I guess the color would depend on the puppy and his or her eating habits.

I loved Danny boy and the cistern. It brings back memories of his tentacles.

[…] on The Sister in the Basement…. I cannot wait to water the gardens instead of shoveling […]

That was good. But not as good as his tentacles.
