The Common Sense Experiments: Razor
I'm not sure what made me do this, considering I've lived with this razor on top of the bathroom counter for more than a year now. Correction. I've been putting away the razor (into the medicine cabinet) for more than a year now. On a daily basis.
A month ago I found a razor stand in one of the cabinets and thought, oh cool there's a stand for this annoying thing. So call me crazy but I made a bold move and strategically placed the razor stand on top of the bathroom counter. Right next to the razor.
I think it's important to point out that apart from a bottle of hand soap and a little toothbrush caddy, there's really not much else to camouflage the razor stand. So I'm thinking he'll see it and think oh cool there's a stand for this annoying thing. Wrong. He doesn't. He completely ignores it. My next move? I place the razor in the stand the next morning, the morning after that, the morning after that morning.... I've been putting the razor into its stand for maybe a month now. If I had some common sense you'd think I'd stop. I wanted to see how long it would take for him to get it. Surely in a month. Uh-uh. Ehh. What I don't get is he obviously has to remove the razor out of the stand right? So he is aware that the razor is in the stand before he uses it... so why doesn't it dawn on him to put the razor back in the stand???? I'm sure he doesn't think the razor walks itself back into the stand after he uses it right?
Me: hey babe, you know your razor right?
Hillsy: ya
Me: you know there's a stand for it right?
Hillsy: ya
Me: why don't you ever put it back into the stand?
Hillsy: coz the razor is wet
Me: [stares blankly at him]
Makes you wonder who's running the experiments around here :)
