Ok, Max...no flushing anything else down the toilets, right??
Ok, so many people know (especially if you've visited us in the past 5-6 months) that Max went through a phase that he liked to throw objects in the toilet and flush it before I could run in and retrieve them. Most of the time the item went bye bye to icky toilet land and that was that.
Well, at one point we only had 2 of our 4 toilets working. We'd fix one and then he'd plug up another one. It was enough to make you scream. Now we have those obnoxious child proof door knobby things so that he can't go into the bathrooms unless we open the door for him.
Anyway, he threw something down the main floor bathroom back in June or so and the freaking toilet has been plugged ever since. We plunged the crap out of it (pun intended), Brad broke 2 snakes on it, he even took it into the garage 3 times to try to figure out what the deal was. Well, finally before breaking down and buying a new toilet...Brad took it out to the garage 1 last time and happened to catch a glimpse of something...
The culprit... One word...EW!!
This was a lid to a toy he had in the living room and when he flushed it, it just happened to wedge itself just right so that it clogged anything and everything flushed. Nice.
Needless to say...it promptly got tossed and I think I made Brad wash his hands about 10 times after finding it. YUCK!
But, thankfully...we have 4 toilets working again! Yeeehaw!
