The Sink Incident

I'll never forget the time Denise called me and asked me to stay on the phone with her as she was entering her empty apartment. This was when she lived in the Del Prado apartments in Euless in about 1979. She had just gotten home and was going from room to room with a borrowed gun in her hand (bad idea!!!) making sure it was safe. All of the sudden I heard a gunshot and Denise saying Oh no!!! Oh shit!!! and Oh my god!!!!! over and over. After what seemed like an eternity, she finally got back on the phone and told me that she had accidentally shot a hole in the kitchen sink. After that, she said she left plants in the sink for several months pretending to water them so her roommate wouldn't notice. I don't remember what happened with the sink when it was time to move out, but I will always remember that phone call from Denise.
