April Fools!

My wonderful roommate is such a good sport! She has had a rough time since she moved in. She was trying to start a fire one Saturday morning and forgot to open the damper and set off all the smoke alarms (while I was still sleeping), that same day she broke a plate trying to put it away. A few weeks later as she was opening the storm door a gust of wind blew it out of her hand and pulled the hinge completely off the doorframe. A little bit after that I came home to an empty house but the oven and the stove on. I have been teasing her about having something against my house and trying burn it down. Really I think all the studying for the MCAT has just pushed everything else out of her head. So last night she came into my room to inform me that there were some pans soaking in the sink but she promised she would clean everything up before she left in the morning. (I am really not concerned about it - she is probably cleaner than me - but she is paranoid now!) So when I got to work this morning I sent her an email asking if she had remembered to run the disposal before she started the dishwasher because the sink had backed up sometime after she left and there was gunk all over the sink and counter. She immediately emailed back apologizing PROFUSELY and promised to start looking for a new place today because she hadn't even thought to run the disposal and knew I was tired of her ruining my house. I emailed back telling her not to worry and by the way - Happy April Fool's Day. She totally didn't get it! She emailed back saying I was really nice but it was a big deal and she was going to clean the house from top to bottom after work. I had to email her again and tell her again - Happy April Fool's! I'm really glad she finally got it - she was getting ready to start looking at Craig's List for a new place!
