What is the obsession?? Why do kids love toilets?
Both of my kids loved to "toilet fish", but I gotta tell you that Kasey takes it to a whole new level. Just before we moved out of base housing a few months ago, Kasey decided to put an entire bar of soap down the toilet. It took me a day or so to realize what he had done, but it was a huge mess and NOT easy to get out of a toilet once it's been soaking for a few days...
So Kasey's been toying around with the idea of being potty trained. He and Katie were in the "bot-tee" (as Kasey calls it) after dinner while I was cleaning up the kitchen. I heard Katie say "do it again, Kasey!" and then a "Hi-YAH!" from Kasey...this does not sound good. Let me go back for a sec...for some strange reason when Katie goes to the bathroom she likes to karate chop the toilet paper. She can't just pull it off and rip. Nope. We get a "Hi-YAH!" everytime. This is hilarious when in a public restroom by the way. It scares the *blank* out of people...I find it comical the things kids do in bathrooms.
Anyway...
So they were karate chopping the toilet paper and Kasey decided to shove the entire DOUBLE ROLL of toilet paper down the toilet. He had his hands in there and everything (and he was completely naked because evidently he can't go "bot-tee" with even a shirt on). Needless to say the floor was completely soaked. I do find it hard to not laugh in these situations...but since I get to be the lucky one to clean it up...
Sigh.
