Update on Caulk
I apologise in advance for this.
Really.
Seriously. You might want to leave now.
You'll totally lose respect for me for posting this.
Or you'll give me an award.
For the record . . . this is completely true and almost exactly word for word.
Mother in Law: We need to caulk the front bathroom.
Matt: *twitch* We need to what?
Mother in Law: We need to caulk the front bathroom.
Matt: So what you're saying, is that the caulk goes in the front?
Mother in Law: Yeah, the front bathroom.
Matt: Could it also go in the back?
Mother in Law: Yes, the back bathroom needs it worse than the front.
Matt: It needs caulk.
Mother in Law: Yes.
Matt: I've never caulked before. Do you know how to work caulk?
Mother in Law: Oh yeah. It's easy to work with caulk.
Matt: Is it messy working with caulk?
Mother in Law: Well of course it gets messy. You have to be careful.
Matt: With caulk.
Mother in Law: Yeah.
Matt: How does caulk work?
Mother in Law: You take the tube and squeeze it along the rim of the bathtub or sink.
Matt: So what happens when you squeeze the caulk?
Mother in Law: The stuff comes out.
Matt: What color is it?
Mother in Law: White.
Matt: Does caulk come in different colors?
Mother in Law: Of course it does.
Matt: Does it come in black?
Mother in Law: Probably.
Matt: Do you think the black caulk is bigger than the white caulk?
Mother in Law: I think caulk comes in all different sizes, why?
This went on for about 20 more minutes.
I had to leave the room about 6 times cause I was crying and almost peed.
My mother in law never caught on.
We also never caulked the bathrooms.
Sorry.

Update: So about six months ago Matt's uncle came down to visit the family. He got to read this post and we all shared a good laugh about it. Matt's mom finally admitted:
Mother in Law: I have to tell you . . . I still don't get why this is so funny.
Uncle: Are you serious?
Mother in Law: What's so funny about caulk?
Matt: Think about it Mom. Caulk.
Mother in Law: Caulk. I don't get it.
Matt: What does caulk sound like, Mom?
Mother in Law: I don't understand.
Uncle: Cock Sis, like a penis. You know. A Cock.
Mother in Law: (suddenly doesn't find my blog so funny) I can't believe you kids!
