Tom Petty had it right

The waiting really is the hardest part. After getting home from the hospital last night and searching for something to eat, I found some chili in the fridge. Mom told me it was almost two weeks old, so I tossed it down the garbage disposal.

"Wait, wait, wait! The garbage disposal doesn't work!" my mother yelled.

Rats. So here I am, waiting for a plumber to come over and fix the #@$%ing garbage disposal, instead of spending the afternoon at the hospital with my father. Oh well, maybe he'll get more sleep without me in the room.
