Everything in the Bathroom Sink

Reader Stacey Anne Yates says her son, Wyatt, takes holidays very seriously, especially Mother's Day, and always presents her with a card and a homemade snack. "When Wyatt was six years old, he disappeared into the bathroom promising me a surprise," Stacey relates. "I figured the bathroom had become his card making lair and I mentally scheduled time to clean up the rogue glue and glitter. Twenty minutes later, he popped out very pleased with his Mother's Day surprise. He darted into the kitchen and returned with two spoons. With spoons in hand he led me, eyes closed, into the bathroom. SURPRISE! Wyatt had made me Macaroni & Cheese in his small bathroom sink. You know the stuff: the box of noodles with the dried cheese packet. Now imagine that orange powder embedded in the tile grout and the noodles expanding in the P-trap. Not to mention the butter that was "hand stirred" into the concoction and spread across most of the bathroom's surfaces and the towels. YUM! He was so proud of his mushy cheesy masterpiece that I had no choice but to dig in. It was a plumber's nightmare but an unforgettable Mother's Day meal."
