Pressing Matters of a Sound Mind

With Love being preggers, and all the pains that are associated with it, the backache, muscle soreness, skin tightness, etc., the frequency at which out bath tub is full has significantly increased. We call it "the treatment"-better than an all inclusive spa- a good back rub and a soak in the garden tub with all the fixin's (bath salt, foot scrub, sesame oil, fluff and scuttle, bath pillows, bath book tray, etc.) The only problem we have experienced is that darn'd ole overflow drain. "Modern tubs" are equipped with an overflow drain, where if the water in the tub reaches a level past this overflow drain, water will leak down the drain to prevent any spill overs. This is all fine and dandy... under normal circumstances, however, normally, people aren't pregnant. Love's baby bump, when reclining, happens to extend above the level of water maintained by the overflow drain, which results in her stomach never getting in the water.

As ingenious as I though my invention, Love couldn't stand to get so much of a toe wet when I unveiled my work of a genius without laughing until we cried and our sides hurt.... those buckteeth look just a little too familiar for comfort....
