Inquiring minds want to know

I stepped out of the apartment for a few minutes this evening to show our vacancies to a nice couple who stopped by. As usual, I took our phone handset with me and told the boys to page me if they needed anything. After a few minutes, I got paged, so I hurried back to the apartment.

Scott: No.

Mrs. M: What were you doing?

Scott: You mean earlier?

Mr. M: Yes!

Scott: I was plunging the toilet.
