The day dad decided to do it

himself

“Damn this stupid thing Not again!,” I heard mum say

Even without popping my head inside the kitchen I knew

that it was the dish-washer making trouble again That

was the third time this month

I hate it when the dish-washer breaks down, because I

would end up doing the washing Mum had given up hope

on the dish-washer But is not dad! He loves it when

something breaks down in the house He is always out to

prove that he is the handy man around the house After

the amount of money he had paid to have the dish-washer

repaired, I was sure, he wouldn’t believe in anymore

repairs I was wrong

When he got home and found out about the dish-washer,

he was all ready to try out the new too-set my uncle had

bought for me recently

He started working on the dish-washer soon after wards

The first thing he laid his hands on was the motor God

knows how he managed to get it out This was preceded

by a lot of banging and hammering My mum and I spent

the evening in the living-room, away from the noise My

mum did not quite mind the mess my dad was making,

because the dish-washer was not functioning well anyway,

even before it decided to go on “strike” that day for the

third time

Dad continued to work through the evening He was

engrossed with the dish-washer and was not distracted by

anything else

While preparing dinner, mum and I tried our best to avoid

directing our curious eyes to my dad’s working spot But

habit was so deeply ingrained that we found ourselves

turning our eyes on him Believe it or not, it wasn’t so bad

There wasn’t much of a mess Just screws and spanners

of different sizes lying around – apart from the dish-racks

and the motor Dad gave us a mischievous grin

We heard a couple of “ouches” and curses in the kitchen

but did not approach him There were sounds of deafening

hammerings Suddenly, dad shouted for help He sounded

desperate

Mum and I rushed to him We knew what was coming It

was a disaster! On the kitchen floor was the motor which

was somehow working on its own The door was off its

hinges Dad was surely for the dish-washer’s lid was off

too I was not surprised Dad was capable of anything!

What did my dad have to say after all these? “They do not

make tools like they used to anymore!” That’s my dad

The next best thing was to pull him away from the kitchen

before he brought down the wires, saying that the wires

had caused the trouble My mum then called the Electric

Company to collect the remains of the dishwasher I went

straight for the tools and placed them back in the store

room I was not surprised the least when we did not

receive any cash for the junk we sent away
