“Sorry,
wrong number.”
“Sofia?”
Silence.
Her
toys lay abandoned.
Where did
she go?
The search, then utter horror.
Amid a sea of flowing toilet paper, stood my darling toddler, happily drenched, cramming every last roll we possessed into the overflowing toilet.

Plumbing is a very lucrative career. This made me giggle!
ReplyDeleteTMW, I am so pleased you enjoyed my little story. This particular one was inspired by my daughter, because she was the one who pulled this particular stunt. Thanks so much for stopping by and for your sweet comments! ♥
DeleteOuch! hahahaha - disaster indeed:-)
ReplyDeleteEli, I remember when it happened to me...I was horrified. Then I flipped out because we didn't have any more toilet paper. Its almost like a thumbs up to fate to strike you with a surprise bout of diarrhea! Thanks so much for stopping by and for your sweet comments! ♥

ReplyDeletePat, amen!! LOL...unfortunately, I was the childcare at my house. That was the whole point of me quitting my job to stay home and raise my kids. Thanks so much for stopping by and for your lovely comments!♥
DeleteOMG I would not be a happy camper. Good thing I didn't have kids. That would not have gone over well.
