It's an epidemic 2/07/06

Does anyone know the protocal to follow when one discovers there may be an epidemic outbreak? Which governmental department handles that? I think it's the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, right? Just curious, because I think one has broken out.....at least in my "neck of the woods". It is some serious disease that is causing sweet little toddlers to stick things down the toilet - things that don't belong in the toilet - and flush.......despite the desperate pleas and threats of their parents......I think it's being called the "Flushing Flu".

Yesterday, Brooke decided that while using the bathroom, regular old Charmin just wasn't cutting it. She thought a washcloth would be a better choice.......then, proceded to flush said washcloth. Don't get me wrong, I applaud the girl for her hygeine skills.....it's just her reasoning skills that are a tad lacking. To her credit.....she did come tell me, "I used a 'washycloff' and flushed it, cause it's just disgusting, Mom!" Disgusting......that it is the word de jour!

Seriously! I know what you're thinking......'If I have to read one more blog about toddlers and toilets.....'! I feel your pain, I really do....but I need to share a bit of my pain. If you checked out Linsey's (woo hoo! I can do that now...thanks to Linsey and Mr. Tankeduptaco - thanks guys!) blog about her percocious little Sunny-girl, you will know that is not just my sweet little demons that have the uncontrollable urge to throw things down the toilet. I just don't get it.....as you can see from the picture.....Brooke has been riding the "potty train" for well over a year now, and she just now caught the "Flushing Flu". Hence, the reason I think it is some kind of epidemic sweeping the West Valley! Maybe it's something in the water. Or, it could be from a mesquito bite they got down at the park. Or, maybe it's because their Mother's have recently discovered the joyous world of blogging.....and the children have a bit more "free time" on their hands? Nah! That can't be it! It's gotta be some kind of disease......at least that's what I keep telling Rob, when he is elbow deep in toilet water, "fishing" for the miscellaneous items of the day.......
