Oh no, another question that's up there with the likes of Who killed Ninoy. This time, why is the door of my bedroom getting too big for its hole? About two months ago, Luis boxed the center of my bedroom door with herculean force when he lost his temper while engaged in a verbal battle with moi. So I guess instead of boxing me, he boxed the door, which is definitely the lesser of two evils I suppose. ANYWAY, nothing happened to the door - or so I thought. But we noticed that little by little, as the days and weeks wore on, the door became tighter and tighter.. as though it were expanding horizontally! The tightness was coming from the width, not the height of the door.. meaning it wasn't dropping. It was just growing sideways! We at first tried SANDING OFF a good portion - which improved the situation a bit for a few days, till it mysteriously grew again. And so, with a vengeance we borrowed a CHISEL and started slicing off layers of wood from the side. That improved things tremendously, what a relief ... till...after a week... just like some gremlin or monster or blob from a horror film, the door slowly started increasing its width again. As of TODAY, it WILL NOT CLOSE.
Luis thought of posting this very mysterious problem in yahooquestions - And so one fine afternoon I did just that, and voila..got a slew of mean replies ranging from I should have boxed my kid instead to why not enroll him in anger management courses -- all pointing to the fact that I screwed up this whole motherhood business...and THAT is why my door will not close. Total of eleven replies in 24 hours... Click on the link below and you be the judge.
