I remember when Tom and I first saw the sunken tub in the master bathroom of our new home. The golden facet and handles sparkled. I imagined romance and candles in my future.
Now, I look to one corner to find Batman and Robin in a tangled mess. In the other corner of the tub is an army tank and a police car. The bad guys are no where to be seen. I wonder if they won or lost the most recent battle with the evil bathtub villains.
Evil villains are like that; they are in-your-face scary one moment and virtually invisible the next. A superhero must always be ready to fight. Even if you see no evil, it doesn’t mean that it isn’t there. You must be sure before you can let your guard down.
So we wait , Batman, Robin and I, for the evil villains to show their face. If and when they do, we *will* attack. Until then, I’ll just relax and enjoy a little peace.
As an aged veteran of many such battles, I offer an alternative explanation.
Batman and Robin bravely fought off a corrupt military officer who was trying to sell stockpiled cold war chemical weapons to The Joker. A police car arrived to the scene, and our tights-wearing friends had to run lest they harm an innocent officer of the law.
Now, Batman and Robin are fugitives from justice, and must prove their innocence AND recover the chemical weapons.
Tune in next week for the exciting conclusion :).
Hmmmm…okay, you know Batman and Robin are guys…Now why would they be hanging out around your bathtub? Only one reason I can think of – in that guy way, hoping for a glimpse of the lady in the bath!
I could have written that! I even bought a candle to burn while I soaked in my glorious tub. Now it is full of all sorts of guys and I can’t even get in. BTW, I had to throw the candle away because it got ruined by the splashing.
maybe Batman & Robin were, ahem, enjoying the candles and romance in your tub while you were out… i’m just saying…
