So I am sitting in my office and in walks Micah with an “I didn’t mean to do it” look on his face; shoulders looking defeated and remorseful... remember we are "office schooling" him for a few more weeks. Without me even prompting him to tell me what happened he skittishly says “sorry mom, I mean I am really sorry.” So I asked what happened and he sadly replies “I think I maybe used a little bit too much toilet paper” oh.boy. So I ran over to the bathroom and sure enough the water is filled to the point of overflowing and there is a little Lincoln Log just making a circle around the bowl while half the toilet paper roll is stuck in the flushing hole part (technical term). Ughhhhhh we have no plunger, so what do I do, flush it again! Stupid, stupid…stupid idea. So then I decide to shut the door as if it was a magic trick thinking it would all disappear when I opened it again. I turn around and get down to Micah’s level, which by the way he does this ALL the time, and I say “how long is it going to take you to learn your lesson about using too much toilet paper?”
He replies “maybe just two more weeks mom.”
Whewwww (sigh of relief) thank GAWD I will only have to deal with overflowing toilets from my son for two more weeks…according to the 4 year old himself, don't worry son I won't hold my breath!
Don’t they say it only takes 2 weeks to break a habit?
On a cleaner note, we are headed to San Diego this weekend to get out of this heat! Really ONE-O-FREAKING-SIX today, is this really necessary? We are headed to see Shamu (hopefully not eat anybody) and spend some time on the beach!!
