| 1 | Calvin takes his dad's tools to fix a leaky faucet in the bathroom. Lacking any understanding of how to do it correctly, he floods the bathroom and tries to hide the resulting mess from his parents. |
| 2 | !!Tropes |
| 3 | * ActingUnnatural: The flooded bathroom may have gone undiscovered by Calvin's parents for much longer if Calvin didn't do such a horrific job of acting like everything was fine when he went to get some buckets. |
| 4 | * BadLiar: When confronted by his father on what he was doing, Calvin tries to claim the faucet handle blew off on its own, then that Hobbes did it, and then that aliens did it. |
| 5 | * CyanidePill: After attempting a plumbing project that goes horribly, predictably wrong, a frantic Calvin starts looking for cyanide ''in the bathroom medicine cabinet'' in order to avoid having to face the wrath of his parents. |
| 6 | * DoItYourselfPlumbingProject: Calvin tries to fix the leaky faucet but doesn't turn off the water before doing so. He can't reattach the faucet because of the high-powered water shooting out, so the bathroom ends up flooded ankle-deep before his dad arrives and turns the water off. |
| 7 | * ImpliedDeathThreat: After Calvin's dad turns off the water and finds his son hiding behind the shower curtain, he calmly tells Calvin "It's the end of the world." |
| 8 | * ManMadeHouseFlood: Calvin's attempts to fix the leaky faucet result in the bathroom flooding. |
| 9 | * OnlySaneMan: Hobbes clearly thinks it's a bad idea for Calvin to try to fix the faucet by himself, then tries to advise him on how to correctly do it. Calvin ignores him at every turn, with predictable results. |
| 10 | * SpeakInUnison: Calvin's parents point at each other and shout "'''Your''' turn" when they overhear Calvin ActingUnnatural upstairs. Dad ends up getting drafted to investigate. |
