Random call to Matt –
Me – “So, do you think you can fix the fireplace damper? Or should I call someone?”
Matt – “What did you do [the NOW is implied by the tone]?
Me – “This time I didn’t. I asked Tyler to check the damper because I could smell a fireplace smell and thought it might not be closed all the way. Tyler then pulled out a piece of metal. I’m guessing it’s the handle. And if I need to call someone I need to do it before I can’t get anyone out here to fix it.”
Tyler – “Wait Mom, I think I can fix it, do we have duct tape and a screw?”
Me – “Leave it alone.”
Matt – “I’ll look when I get home. [Exasperation ozzing]”
Me – “Tyler leave it alone.”
