Hi, my name is Leaky (I hate that nickname but you gave it to me). Im your kitchen faucet. I dont think you realize how important I am in your life. Stop and think for a moment how many times you touch me everyday. What about your children? Theyre up here pulling on my handle all the time with their grubby little hands, sometimes yanking too hard and causing me to loosen my screws a little bit more each time. I love your children, but they dont handle me with as much caution and some adults do.
Most of the time I go completely unnoticed. Sure, you use you all the time, but you dont really give me your undivided attention unless Im dripping and annoying you. Hey, I get runny noses just like everyone else in the family, give me some doctoring!
I remember when you first saw me. I was sitting on the store shelf next to my brothers and sisters, and you were commenting about how much we cost, what features we had, what color we were and if we would be a good fit for your kitchen. I was so excited when you stopped to read my tags because I knew I was the perfect kitchen faucet for you. Then you crushed my hopes a little with your comments about how expensive I was. Good...
