CSI: Bathroom

Ah, never a dull moment in the Domicile with the three Minions.

The other night the Minions had all showered and the family was sitting on the couch watching Honey Boo Boo The Avengers when all of a sudden The Trophy's nose started twitching.  The Trophy has an uncanny superpower to be able to smell things far away and even before they happen.  She can smell that the litter box needs to be cleaned a day before it really smells, can smell a fart five minutes before it happens and can smell a curdled cup of milk three rooms away.  She is the Sniffer.

I looked over and saw her nose twitching in disgust and the first thing out of my mouth was, "It wasn't me!".

"I know it wasn't you, the cat is still in the room."

Sniff, sniff, "Did you shower #1?"

"Yeah of course I did."

"#3?"

"Yesh."

"#2?"

Silence.

"#2!?"

More silence.

"NUMBER 2!!!!!!" (sounding like Dave yelling for Alvin in the Chipmunks.)

"What?"

"Did you shower tonight?"

"I think so, my hair is wet."

"OK...something smells really bad in here."

The Trophy is never happy until a mystery is solved, so she gets up and heads to the bathroom to check the towels and make sure there is water and soap bubbles left in the tub.  She turns into some sort of CSI agent and after ten minutes or so, she comes back into the living room holding an empty body wash bottle.

"I put a new bottle of body wash in the shower for you guys."

"Oh, yeah I forgot, we're out of body wash.", #1 proceeds to tell her.

"Yes, I know...I just put a new bottle in the shower."

"No, I forgot to tell you on Sunday."

"Sunday?  Today is Wednesday..."

"It is?"

"Yes...how long have you been without body wash?"

"Ummmm...", says #1.

"Ummmm..", says #2.

"Ummmm..", says #3.

"You mean to tell me you've been without body wash for more than three days?"

"Maybe.", said in unison.

"What have you been using for soap to wash?"

"....."

"You mean to tell me that you've been taking showers for a minimum of ten minutes and just washing your hair?  What are you doing just roaming around the tub?"

"No, we are cleaning oursel..."

"With what?  Did you use my body wash or Dad's body wash?"

"No..."

"So, instead of looking up and grabbing one of the other two body washes, you just didn't wash?"

"We washed our hair and let the soap run down."

".....get...in...there...and...shower...again!"

"OK...", as they jump up running to the bathroom, leaving a trail of Children's Place pajamas in the wake.

She turns to me, "This is your fault you know."

"Yeah, I had a feeling it was but let me remind you that all I did was plant the seed, you were the one who grew them for nine months."

"Excuse me?"

"Nothing, I'm going to make sure they are cleaning properly."
