Eric the Brave (or more early Halloween)

Last week I was standing in the kitchen and from the laundry room I heard splashing that I had never noticed before during a wash cycle. I went in to check it out and yes indeed, water was splashing out of a pipe at the back of the washer all over the floor, a lot of water. So Eric became Eric the plummer and fixed the problem. Sometimes the shoemaker's wife gets shoes afterall. (I thought the cut on his arm warrented medical attention but who needs that when you have a first aid kit with butterfly bandages? So it bled off and on all evening and had stopped in the morning but little blood smears were all over the sheets and pillowcases.)
