Raining on the Inside

qosLast night I was in my kitchen, working on homework, when suddenly I heard that most dreaded sound: water coming down somewhere it's not supposed to be.
I went into my transition room (a square area that is basically a hall-hub for my bathroom, office, the stairway, and the back entryway) and found water coming in through the roof.
Which is an especially unusual situation when you live in a basement.
I started yelling for my daughter to run upstairs and ask them to turn off whatever water was running, and stood there staring stupidly at the three or four streams of water coming down. It took my daughter to suggest that we get a bucket under them. (Doh!) I was too stunned and appalled to actually think at that moment.
The leak was blessedly short-lived and minor in impact, but still. . . !!!!
The cause? Someone upstairs had left the water running in the bathroom sink with a washcloth stuck in the bottom so the drainage was stopped. The three suspects are one of the sweet but easily distracted twins (who have ADD) and the sweet but easily distracted Ex's God-daughter.
No arrests have been made, and the authorities Upstairs do not seem inclined to investigate the case.

queenofhalves, be sure to pack rain boots and an umbrella when you visit.
