Toilet Tendencies

My kids believe that I am omnipotent. And to be honest I don't have a problem with their misconception. I find it to be helpful in many cases. Here is an example of my power - I can walk into any bathroom in my home and tell who the last kid in there was.

I know what you're thinking...HOW do I DO it??? I'm going to break my code of silence and tell you my secrets.

OK. Here goes:

If it was Thing One I'll know it was her as the toilet will not be flushed and there will be enough toilet paper on top of the water to create a nest for Big Bird.


I think the "H" stands for "HEY! Why don't you try FLUSHING that fucker?!"

If Thing Two was the last one in the bathroom there will be yellow water and an impressively sized dump in it. No toilet paper whatsoever. She's not a flusher either, for the record. I guess she could be using toilet paper like this...



...but I can also go into the laundry room at any given time and easily point out which panties she has worn. 'Nuff said.

Thing Three is still in diapers. Ironically he is the only kid in the house who does flush the toilets. Unfortunately he does this chronically and without cause or reason. Possibly he has seen me going through the house in the morning on my daily Turds in the Unflushed Toilet Patrol and is mimicking my behavior. Happily he doesn't repeat the running commentary which is usually something like, "Well, I'd better go look in the girls bathroom...JESUS CHRIST. Is it SO hard to flush the fucking toilet?! WHY must they leave this for ME to find. I was in labor for three damn days and THIS is how they repay me???! While I'm up here I'd better go check the guest room toilet, too...OH MY HOLY HELL...."

Thing Three follows me around and watches with interest as I flush his sisters shits. He also seizes this golden opportunity to use every single toothbrush that he finds on the way. I'm not really sure what his deal is with the toothbrush fetish. But, as I've already pointed out, there are worse tendencies he could have.

When you click HERE a toilet flushes at Humor-Blogs headquarters! Try it....

Just like to take this opportunity to point out that, even though I have numerous failings, I have NEVER in the 17ish years I've lived with my wife, EVER left the toilet seat up.

And I'm not one of those pee-all-over-the-seat-whilst-it's-down types, either.

Yes, we have the same thing in our home although the key indicator is the size of the turd. My son lays the biggest turds known to man. Stop up the toilet almost every time. I think to myself, how could such a huge turd come out of something that only weighs 48 pounds soaking wet!

Frogster - you are a good man! Can you come train a guy I work with. For weeks we have made loud remarks about the seat being left up and dribbles on the rim and floor. We sent a building wide email reminding folks of unisex bathroom etiquette. One girl even sang him the "please be neat and wipe the seat" song. I think the next step will be to put some Cheerios in the there so he can use those for a target. It worked for my 3 year old so hopefully it will work for a 63 year old! Please tell me if you have any other ideas...

I found a floater in the toilet yesterday, unaccompanied by tp, and I thought of you.

Frog - You are SUCH a stud. Me likey...

Kcar - My middle kid has giganto poops sometimes. She'll name the kind that she has like, "Look, Mom, that's a snake poopie" or "Look at my turtle poop, Mom". I am REALLY proud of her....

Leigh - Sigh. I know exactly what you mean. I can smell these before I see them. So gross...

VE - I haven't begun potty training my little man and I think this might be why. I don't want pee everywhere. Call me crazy...

Bee - Umm...yes, I can. Whenever I open the door after he's been in there my nose starts to bleed and the wallpaper is trying to remove itself to another room. He's dead sexy!!

Marie - Is it weird that I'm flattered you thought of me? Hopefully my middle daughter hasn't been sneaking off and leaving stealth dumps in other peoples toilets.

Lillinda - Yep, I have a dad, too. His thing is farting in public. He'll do it (LOUDLY) and then say, "Hey...did you guys see that duck??" Oh, the hilarity.

Stinker - I guess they all have their little weird things, huh?

April - Thanks! :))) I really appreciate that!

Florida: The Good. The Bad. The Holy SHIT!!!

So you know...I live in Florida now. The good news is that my southern accent is stronger than ever - I think it was some sort of defense mechanism...of or for what, I have no idea. I definitely miss Atlanta and my friends, though, especially now. Spring in Atlanta is SO beautiful. But Florida is pretty nice, too. We go to the beach at least once a week and we all love having a pool in the backyard. Also, my husband makes me a Planter's Punch every night and I don't even feel guilty by knocking it back - we're on vacation, right?? A couple of weeks ago I was reading the news and saw this weird picture: In case your eyes can't make sense of it, I'll give you a hint. It's not a puppy. I'm guessing it's not an air freshener, either. It is, in fact, a Burmese Python that ruptured and now has a really big dead Alligator sticking out of it's stomach. Oh, and something ate the snakes head off. That's why there is no head there. National Geographic has

Oooohhh...I just LOVE when you wrap it around me... do it again, please?

I had heard that "crack" kills. I just never really believed it until I saw it with my own eyes. (Bless his heart.) About 3 years ago I was 6 months pregnant and had two daughters (aged 4 and 5). We were all traveling from Bellingham, WA to Atlanta, GA with a VERY brief layover in Dallas. We were booked on a major airline that should remain anonymous as they are a bunch of asshats (but they rhyme with "Mamerican Mairlines") and we had to leave for the airport at 3:30 AM in order to catch our 7AM flight. It was Suck City. By the time our car arrived in Seattle my husband and I were barely speaking to each other and the girls had marks on their faces and arms from the backseat smack-down they had while out of our reach. When I went to the counter to speak with the representative she informed me that even though our seats had been purchased many months ago and seat assignments had been given all of that had changed and we were no longer sitting together as a family. I

The Wild and Wonderful World of Animal Butts

Hello, Boys. How're they hangin'?? Several years ago my dad and I were hiking in California. It was a beautiful afternoon and we were on a mountain trail. We came upon some kind of farm that had a fence around it. Suddenly I saw it - a pig lying down with his "sac" squeezed out behind him. It looked as though someone had stuffed two basketballs under his skin. My first thought was, "Holy crap, pigs can get elephantitis??!" This was quickly followed by thought number two which was, "I would give anything to be sharing this experience with anyone but my father ." So I did what anyone could do in such a situation. I took a picture of the pig balls. I decided that I would put it on the cover of my Christmas cards that year and when the card was opened it would say, "Deck the halls...." I haven't done it yet but I will...yes, I will. You may be wondering why I brought this up. It has to do with baboons and Darwin. At the risk of dramatical
