It's a good thing there was a big bath towel that was left on the floor, and I was wearing shoes. I love when the males in my family make a round robin of clogging the pipes with too much toilet paper. Unsuspecting mom goes in and tends to her womanly-yet-oh-so-UNladylike business (read the previous post for a clue), and gets a bonus. A repetetive expletive emitted and the husband comes to investigate the reason for hearing such repetition.....and arrives at the bathroom door with a weird look on his face. He wasn't sure if he should laugh or be concerned, but he turned around and left. He couldn't help me while holding the youngest who fell asleep in his lap drooling over John Cena on the TV. He was quite puzzled at the sight of me bent over in my altogether trying to reach behind the toilet to turn off the water connection. Thank you Dad, for teaching us these little tricks to avert or at least mitigate disaster. I'm very appreciative of the fact that it was ONLY water and nothing else escaping the rim of the commode, and that I was able to get the water to shut off before the water reached the small limits of the vinyl flooring of the bathroom and met the carpet in the hallway.
The joking conversation after the fact went like this....
"hey, honey...when did we install a bidet?"
"we didn't"
"Well. s**t"

Always entertaining at your house. Ahh...good times...
The plunger now permanently resides in my boys' bathroom due to the youngest's regular omission of a "courtesy flush."
I'm not very pop culturally literate and think that term may have possibly originated in a movie, but it was explained to me that in mid-course of wiping, this is done to avoid clogs.
Did you hear Sheryl Crow (or is it Crowe) say she only uses one sheet?! How is that possible? She must have one of them thar bidets!
That is one of my worst pet peeves. Stepping in wet in the bathroom is definitely the worst!!
