Don't Worry
FOUND by Jennifer Judd-McGee
in Portland, Maine
I found this note while sorting through my mother-in-law's papers after her death. She had an amazing sense of humor and never threw anything away.

We collect FOUND stuff: love letters, birthday cards, kids' homework,

else's life. Anything goes...
My favorite.
I'd say the toilet overflowing is something worth worrying about.
Odds are that mom worried.
Yes, mom mightn't have worried if the note had ended with "I cleaned it up". As it stands, we have no idea if mom arrived home to 3 inches of filthy water, or what.
Anon that is totally how I saw it too lol. Like did they just leave the toilet all plugged and overflowed
It sounds like the person bombed the toilet, then took off in a hurry to take care of some errands leaving the toilet in disaster mode but was surprisingly thoughtful enough to acknowledge the disastrous toilet situation for Mom. Weird person. Very cool.
i love this. really mom...don't worry about it.
i too would bet that mum worried.
Maybe Mom thought that the toilet seal broke,called her son to repair it,the son came by,investigated and found that it had only overflowed.I wonder if sonny boy cleaned up the mess for his mother.I'd like to think so,that's why she kept the note :)
Surely by now somebody has gone and mopped up?
The lack of punctuation makes it somehow more ominous.
Mom, the house blew up. No worries.
LOL!!! Matt, I cant stop laughing at your comment!!! Hahahahah!!! :)
How would you like to get a message sayin "momma the toliet overflowed" lol i think i'd wrorry if i were you.. chances are the toliet wuz flushes over and over again...jus to make shore its broken lol
This person seems really calm for
such an urgent plumbing situation.
Just explaining the brown stain on the bathroom carpet...I cleaned it up, don't worry...
This found reminds me of that book of student poems from the 70's: "The geranium on the windowsill just died, but teacher you kept right on."
My boy, while your intentions are surely admirable, your character is less the chivalrous.
...couldn't you have at least said if the toilet was being used at the time?
I like the classic 70's stationary. Remimds me of my childhood.
I love the stationary. And it sounds like something that would be sitting on the kitchen table of my house, note courtesy of my younger sister.
This reminds me of my parents helping me move into my first house. I went to work the morning they were leaving to go back to Pennsylvania. My dad called me at the office to say good-bye and.."oh, by the way, I tried to get it go down, but you need a plunger." Too funny!
Calling all Moms: how many times do you hear that line "Mom, don't worry!"? My kids are teens now and I hear it more every year. I do think this is universal thing.
"Dont worry".... because it's too late anyway!
The heck with the toilet. That Swinging Seventies Font! The precision contour drawing of a rotary dial phone! Instantly takes me back to my childhood -- it's like an entire decade writ on a pad of paper.
How about this: The last time the toilet overflowed, the writer tried to do himself in with a razor blade. After a year and a half of successful (but expensive) therapy, the toilet has overflowed once more. This time, he's telling his mother, he (or she) is a little further down the road.
Mom should still worry and probably did.
This is my first comment. Fun!
Ha ha Dave ("weird person")! I like your way of thinking.
i surpose the toilet has already overflowed nothing you can do about it now. So why worry about it.
the best part is he tells his mom not to worry.
