He has been kicking things up a notch around the house. Previously, he used to limit his destruction to newspapers, pens and old slippers. Now he has decided to take it to the next level.
His latest list includes:
- Mom's blood pressure machine
- Mom's set of paint brushes
- My handphone cover (thank God my handphone wasn't in it!)
- And the switch of the mosquito zapper in the study room
Of all, the last one caused the biggest headache for me. The blood pressure machine, although it bears the scars of Danny's affections, still works. The zapper, on the other hand, doesn't work without its switch.
As it faces the garden, the study attracts a good share of mossies, and hubby bought the machine to enjoy an itch-free life. He religiously turns it on everyday and takes gleeful pleasure in hearing it spark.
Danny destroyed all that in a matter of minutes. Hubby was already upset with him for a previous rampage of the house, which involved the first three items on the list. If he found out about his precious machine, I'd be feeding Danny through a tube.
So, I dropped everything including my facial appointment which I badly needed, and rushed the machine down to Novita's HQ. The receptionist peered rather strangely at the problem and got a technicial to look into it.
After a 20-minute wait, it came out as good as new. The best thing was, it was free! I was really, really surprised. (And you know how nothing is free unless they have a bigger scam in mind.)
The recep replied that they don't charge for small repairs. And this is even though it was past warranty and they had to replace the entire switch with a brand new one! Talk about good customer service!
She had one question though, "How did the switch get like that?" I spent the next five minutes explaining about the extra large rodent we have at home and she laughed. "Ya, we were just wondering!"
The only problem now is I still have a big fat pimple on my chin and it's all his fault.
