You learn something new everyday

"Ayi, what's that smell?"
"What smell?"
"That horrible smell coming from the vacuum cleaner now?"
"I dunno..."
"It smells like condensed wet dog..."
This gets me thinking. She didn't vacuum the dogs did she?
I check on the dogs and they seem unstressed, so I continue with my investigation.
The smell leads me to puddles of mysterious black water.
"Ayi, what's this black stuff all over the place?"
"What black stuff?"
"This black stuff."
"I dunno..."
I decide to change tactics.
"Ayi, can you show me exactly where you used the vacuum this morning?"
"OK."
She takes me to the shower.
"I cleaned the shower. It was dirty."
You learn something new everyday.

3q2u is an acronym which if said in Chinese and Japanese sounds like "Thank you to you!" Dumb but easy to remember. More >>
