Ok, so there is a toilet on what should be a Halloween posting. We are getting ready for Trick or Treating when I notice the toilet is not flushing quite as quickly as it should. My concern about a toilet not working is high, because our other toilet is suffering from the same thing. So, I ask Trevor, did you flush something down the toilet. I am thinking he is going to say band aids since he was playing with some earlier. When we finally do get an answer, we come to find out that he has flushed a wooden toy train down the toilet. No, we cant get it out. It is a solid block of wood with wheels. After trying to flush it out backwash with a hose and a feeble attempt to pullit out with a coat hanger, we give up and buy a new toilet. Install the toilet and then see the hose to the toilet tank is broken....sigh.... All would be well with that except the valves are not working and we cant just shut off the bathroom water. So after spending the night and morning with no water, a very nice plumber came to fix the valves.
Moral of this story - Toilets are only for the 3 P's - Pee, Poop and Paper. Trevor is now well aware that trains and toys start with the letter T.

I think Trevor will learn his lesson quickly and I was impressed that you and Rick were as calm as you were-maybe that was for our benefit, but I think you both handled it well under the circumstances.
Let us know when you want a night off-it is well-deserved!
WELCOME TO THE WORLD OF BOYS!!!
You know the old saying, "Boys will be boys". A little bit of the devil in them all.
Another for the Book of Memories.

Oh, my, what fun. One of those things he'll never live down that will become funny with the passage of time. Sounds like you handled it well.
