#SOL21 – Day 14 – A New Gadget

When we were shopping for a kitchen sink faucet, the new one we liked best would only use one of the four countertop holes. Actually, it would use two if we installed the soap dispenser, but I don’t think we’ve refilled the current one once in the 6 years we’ve lived here. Still, there were holes to cover, so we were about to head to the aisle with the caps when another item caught my attention. “What do you think about…that?” I asked my husband, pointing a finger at the top row of the display.

And that’s how we ended up with a glass rinser on our kitchen sink.

After it was installed, everyone in the family had to try it out. One kid takes a couple of sips of water. Whoosh! I finish my coffee. Whooosh! Another kid has chocolate milk. Whoooosh! Then there’s a smoothie. Whooooosh!

As we are sitting down to dinner a few days later, the middle child comes up with another way we might be able to use the glass rinser. “Can I rinse out the milk jug with this?” After a brief discussion, we decided that the spray would probably stay within the narrow opening. Whoosh! Game changer!

Then the eldest child asks, “How high up do you think that can spray?” It’s one of those questions that can only be answered by demonstration, so we give him the go-ahead. It takes another nod from us to him to know that we’re serious before he walks over and tries it. Whoosh! Our kitchen is filled with wows, laughter, and a few wet spots on the ceiling.
