sign of genius?
I suppose I could say I was absent minded, or easily distracted; I'm not ashamed to wear those titles. For perhaps the fourth time since Christmas I've started the water running for a bath, and gone back to my room only to forget that I had the water running.
Since the bathroom is in Andy's room, he's usually the one to notice the water spilling out onto the floor. He get's mad naturally, and yells at me while he frantically throws down any towel he can find.
Despite this I think there is something uplifting about the whole situation. Like anything, you just have to see it in the right light.
Sometimes I really wish he would lighten up too. Especially before he finds out it just happened again.

The worst similar thing that once happened to me was when I fried an egg one summer evening. While this egg was slowly getting ready in the pan, I used the time to go on reading the thick book which I begun in the afternoon. This book was interesting (otherwise I wouldn't have read it), and I didn't look up from the pages before my mother stormed into the kitchen and tore open the windows and shouted at me what I were doing ?! The whole kitchen was full of smoke, the egg was black - but I only noticed the burnt smell *after* my reading was interrupted.
