Our utility bill shows a chart with our monthly consumption and the national average for an apartment our size. I've always been happy that our water consumption was below average. But this month, when we received the bill, I was shocked to see that it was way above average. Strange... some of these thoughts came to my mind:
"Apple! Where are you?" I would shout from the kitchen when the house became strangely quiet. More often than not, I'd find her in the toilet brushing her teeth. This would be one of her favourite "past times" at home. It involves filling up the cup to tbe brim with water, rinsing once or twice and then refilling again...Or she could be practising her handwashing skill until someone comes and stops her. .
May was also a month when we started seriously potty training Apple. That means lots of accidents, washing up. The fun thing about using the toilet for Apple is that she gets to flush it. Every so often, she'd be found practising this new skill, whether she's used the toilet or not.
Apple certainly has the dubious honour of almost singlehandedly increasing our water bill. Sigh...I have to work hard at bringing it down again...
