Roy's the Man

About 6 or 8 months ago, Roy made my bath with candles, bubble baths, and always have my book ready (yes, he still does it...sorry ladies!). On that particular day, he used a tea candle with metal bottom. We didn't think twice of it, but after I was done, there was 4 small burnt area from one tea candle. You could tell that a tea candle was there. I tried a lot of things to remove it, I even asked my handy mom how I can remove it or we could get in trouble.

Fast forward to a few days ago. I "strip" cleaned my apartment...basically that means I clean every surface, cleaning the TVs, cleaning the bathrooms, doing all laundry, etc. I decided to try again on the burnt area. Mom gave me a little bit of bleach, and I thought that may help. It didn't. I threw the small terry towels on top of a pile of towels. Little did I know that it fell off the "mountain". That night, Roy looked at the floor and saw a small area that the bleach towel has touched...and it was a little lighter than our carpet...oops.

Fast Forward to yesterday - He left the couch to go in the bedroom. The bathroom was in the bedroom area, so I could not tell if he was in the bathroom or on the bed. After 20 to 25 mins has gone by....he comes out beaming. I said to him, "What the heck were you doing for the last half hour?" He says, "I was clipping my nails. I cleaned off the burned marks." I was like, "WTF? I've been trying to clean that for months, how did you do it?" He just shrugged and beamed like his ego was bigger than the apartment. I ran to the tub, and found NO burn marks. I asked him, "Seriously, how did you do it?!". He says, "I used toothpaste. It's a mild abrasive, so I scrubbed for about 10 mins to get that thing off". WHAT? He used toothpaste?! Why didn't he tell me that before? "I just thought of it 10 mins ago!"

Then...he went on his Ego trip...and what a trip it was. I ended up hearing, "Who's the man?! Who's the man?" All I could say was a few choice 4-letter words.

"Now, I'll have to think of something how to fix the bleached stain."

Yes Roy...you're the man.
