Silly

Laszlo has a fascination with everything toilet...except of course actually peeing in it. He went through a phase about 2 months ago where he only wanted to flush toilets wherever we were. Apparently, when the mood struck him, he'd try to flush various things down the toilet. His favorite "flushables" were those bath letters that are foamy and stick to the sides of the tub. I guess the fun part was that sometimes they'd go down and other times they'd float. Woo hoo.

We plunged a few out by the time we realized he was actually getting them in there. Then we bought toilet locks. We have 4 toilets in the house, and his favorite was the one in our bedroom (of course). So...about 6 weeks ago, he flushed something down there. Ever since, whenever there was more than liquid and a small amount of toilet paper in there, it would back up. This was a total pain because I had to go to the other bathroom if I had to do more than pee.

I finally called a plumber today and he snaked out the pipe and ended up having to remove the toilet from the ground. Robert said, "What letter is it? Tell the plumber I think it's an M." Not a minute after I hung up with Robert, the plumber came down and said, "Do you wanna guess what letter it is?" I told him Robert's comment. But nope. It was a nice purple P. I had a nice chuckle that Laszlo actually flushed the P down the toilet. My sister in law said, "Yeah, and you think he's not really paying attention when you tell him what's supposed to go down there."

I know it was just a coincidence...and it's a 1/26 chance (actually 1/36 since there are numbers as well), but I'm totally amused that the P's what did it.

I told Laszlo that the $165 the plumber charged is coming out of his toy allowance. Ha.
