When you here horror stories about kids and the toilet you always hear about 2 year olds destroying the plumbing so I figured that with a 3 year old and a 4 year old I had passed that stage. I was wrong.
Last week after Greyson seemed to be taking forever in the bathroom I went to check on him and found the majority of his hand down in the toilet. When I asked him what he was doing he told me he wanted to know where his poop went. I explained where it went and then attempted to emphasize the importance of not putting body parts into the toilet. And I think I got through to him - sort of. I guess I forgot to mention the part about not putting anything in the toilet except poop and pee. Fast forward to Thanksgiving night...
About an hour before dinner we heard a blood curdling cry from Greyson. Apparently he decided to put the remote to his plane down the toilet and flush it. We don't know whether this was on accident or on purpose but whatever the intent the result was the same. Adios remote. Greyson was hysterical; Raif was furious. So for the next hour Raif juggled fixing Thanksgiving dinner and attempting to take a toilet apart. He continued that fun project after dinner and well into the night. After a couple hours of manual labor and a whole lot of cursing he didn't find a trace of that remote. Gone, gone gone.
We have a septic system in our house and so are a wee bit terrified that this thing has gotten caught somewhere in the system and that pretty soon it is going to start backing up. The remote was actually a sizeable chunk of plastic and neither of us quite understand how it actually got out of the toilet. I guess only time will tell whether we will need a visit from the plumber. Here's hoping for a little Christmas miracle....
