Plumbing mishaps years apart caused equivalent damage to keepsakes from the kids' earlier years.
Replace the flapper in a toilet tank, and the water shutoff valve would dribble. Tweak something in one place, and the problem would spring up farther down the water line. Plumbing, my version of it as least, was a game of Whac-A-Mole. Nothing ever was truly fixed.I'd place a plastic container beneath a leaky valve to catch an intermittent drip, and eventually it would stop.
And directly below it was the box that contained Kid No. 1's pre- and grade school projects and artwork. And that's where they remained until our dishwasher sprung a leak last week, directly above that shelf. A googly plastic eye from the"shape monster" fell to the floor. A marker drawing of our stick-figure family had bled onto preceding pages.
