Who needs a babysitter now? A toilet incident.

I’m back at work now, the transition has gone pretty well to this point. On Thursday Little H will go to a sitter (whom she adores) so who knows what will happen then. I’m hoping she has so much fun playing with her friends that she won’t notice I’ve been gone all day. Here’s to hoping.

As it turns out, Little H isn’t the one who needs a sitter anyway. It seems that hubby is the one who requires around the clock supervision. You see, he was mowing the yard yesterday (this isn’t a lawn mower accident story so you can resume breathing) and decided he needed to use the facility. So inside the house he goes, down stairs to our bathroom. He proceeds to do his duty (#1) and as he is flushing, his sunglasses jump from their perch on the collar of his shirt and plummet into the toilet bowl which is forcefully swirling water down, down, down. They vanished instantly and I can only imagine the look of incredibility on hubby’s face as this occurred. I picture wide open eyes, his mouth agape, and a vulgar word (#2).

He went to the hardware store and got a snake to see if he could fish them out and got nothing. I’m hoping that they went all the way through and aren’t lodged there. Time will tell, for now I’m considering hanging a sign above reading ‘please pee only – no #2’s allowed’.

*Sigh*

Sorry, but that's pretty funny. I snorted some water out my nose. Love the sign.

Maybe a fish somewhere is wearing them now.

What a terrible thing to happen..yet kind of funny at the same time. I hope they went right through and won't clog for you..It really is a pain when the toilets start backing up.

hahaha funny but terrible. Hope it doesn't clog the bowl. lolx

Yeah, hopefully they've made their way though. On the other hand, it's a pretty unusual thing I'd imagine to have your toilet clogged because of...sunglasses!

Btw, I'm tagging you tomorrow for a meme, but NO OBLIGATION. If nothing else hopefully I'll send a few readers your way. I really like your blog!

Oh no! It is funny how men require so much supervision sometimes... ;)

Charles - haha at least you weren't drinking hot coffee!

Ivan - yes, I guess it is the first of many to come with a little one around :)

Rosebud - Yes, it is a pain and I don't really want to relay the story to a plumber!

wattzy - thanks :)

Carole - thanks for the tag, I'll come take a look.

Oh my! I think I left the wrong comment, I had two comment windows up at once. Guess that's what I get for trying to multi-task. Sorry if there was a comment that didn't make sense.

But my goodness, what a hectic moment. I hope there's no back up from them and that they went all the way through.

Funny, I posted a video of a toilet the other day....but for the love of it, not the eating of objects!

Funny story!
