Is my toilet a magnet?
Okay, okay...I know some of you think this is going to be just another bathroom story, but there's more to it. I'm beginning to wonder if there is some type of magnetism drawing things into the toilet! Just now I was talking on the phone and got my eyebrow tweezers out of the drawer beneath the bathroom sink. Granted I was multi-tasking, but I was using a headset and did have both hands free, when, all of a sudden, the tweezors JUMP out of my hand and I immediately know they're headed for the toilet! In an instant I'm thinking, "Oh, please don't fall in the toilet!" but I know that's where they're going! I look over and think, "If I just do this quickly I won't have to think about it and I'll just get it over with." So, I plunged my hand in and started fishing around the toilet paper...no it had not been flushed yet, but it was only a few pieces of toilet paper, and no tweezors. I figured it had slid down farther so down I went with my arm, scouring the bottom of the bowl and viola! I really liked those tweezors, but more than that I was afriad they'd stop up something and I could end up with a worse mess! So now you have it...my bathroom extravaganza! Oh, and the point to that was this...why is it when you drop something in the bathroom that it always wants to fall into the toilet?! What is this force that pulls things into that deep dark hole? And does this happen to other people...

sort of the "toast always lands butter side down" type of thing. i do not envy you fishing around in the toilet. i would totally have flushed those buggers on down.
i had a funny thing happen today. i was at the store, buckling ian back in after shopping. my cart was parallel to the van. the two parking spaces beside us were empty. as i was taking care of ian i heard this thunk & looked up in horror to see that my buggy had rolled over to the next car and rammed into its side door. it was a new looking suv and it happened just as the poor woman pulled into the space one over from me. it didn't appear to do any damage & she was so kind about the whole thing talking about her four boys and such. i felt like a dingbat and i had the same thought, "does this happen to everyone?"
I think I'm the one that people always hit with their shopping carts! It does seem to me that I get a lot of dings and dents from things beyond my control. A while back I happened to be in the van and a woman got out of her car and FLUNG her door open and banged the van. Maybe there are a proportionate number of bangers and bangees! :)
I once had a necklace fall off as I was standing up, righ tinto the toilet, and before it was flushed. I also heard about a girl who had that happen with her cell phone, but it was one of those automatic flushers, so as soon as she stood up...down it went. can you imagine!
Well Grandma,
I think you should have just flushed the frog and see what happens! My bathroom story happened this morning at seminary. I was in the kitchen while us seminary students were enjoying breakfast when...
*gurgle, gurgle, gurgle*
That's not a good feeling! Anyway, I quickly decided to ignore the gurgle, but my stomach decided not to ignore me...arrgghh!
After another set of gurgles, I realized I was going to have to run for the bathroom, and the alternative wasn't pretty! I made it but the ironic part was that another student (who will remain nameless) entered the bathroom right after I got out. Apparently similar urges hit him at the same time!
All is well that ends well :)
gross adam! and we actually did flush the frog...several times. the cool whip bowl was the only way out for him!
It was an unfortunate incident. But oh! What relief did follow!
I know Cory's loving this post! All about the bathroom with this crowd, huh?! He's probably thinking...another bathroom story?!!
it always comes back to that, doesn't it?
During prom, I hinted vaguely that Kelsey wouldn't really understand the Jarrell's until she was part of the infamous "Jarrell Bathroom Story Sessions." If she's really lucky, she might even be around when Ethan comes home. His repetoir of gross stories is never-ending
So, did that make a good impression! :)
