The Perfect Day

• Family fishing trip with the boys.
• Four hours on the water — only Paul catches a fish.
• Decision to skip cooking and grab dinner at Finn’s Dockside Bar & Grill.
• Calling Nana to join — wholesome family vibes.

The Discovery

• Post-boat cleanup routine.
• Garage door opens… water everywhere.
• Initial suspicion: water softener.
• Reality: Main water line leak.
• Flashbacks to previous home flooding — instant stress spike.

The Shower Situation

• Jace mid-shower when water gets shut off.
• Soap in hair. No rinse.
• Parents distracted by plumbing crisis + neighbors stopping by.
• Time passes… 10 minutes… 15 minutes…
• Check-in: “Is it going to get turned on anytime soon?”
• Attempted reassurance: “It’s fine! Shampoo in your hair is good for you!”

Neighborhood Chaos Layer

• Friends cruising by on a golf cart (very Apollo Beach energy).
• Paul deep in plumbing mode — tools everywhere.
• Situation escalating from “quick fix” to “major repair.”

Resolution

• Jace told to just get out of the shower.
• Leak finally repaired.
• Dinner plans salvaged.
• Everyone makes it to Finn’s.
• Crisis averted… mostly.
