Hoping this isn't indicitative of how my day is going to go

One of my earrings fell down the drain this morning. Damn. The last time I did this my do-it-all dad came up and got it out for us. He had to change out the parts under our sink because they were super-old and did not look at all like the picture above. But he also used some sort of purple sealant to seal it all up so now I'm not sure that we can easily take it apart.

I am sure my dad thought I'd learn my lesson and be more careful.

Yup, he was wrong. Damn!
