The toilet seemed to always fill back to the brim after every flush. I walked to the kitchen to ask my mom how anyone was supposed to use the bathroom like this. She said that there was a setting somewhere to change the water level. I was confused why anyone would want the water to be so high.

I saw my mom trying to decipher the lyrics of a song that was playing using a paper dictionary. I decided to listen along and suggested that the reason she was having so much trouble was because it sounded like the singer was reciting chemical symbols half of the time.
