There is no doubt they are brother and sister.

There is no doubt that they are brother and sister.

The unique talent of flooding the house has been passed down from sister to brother.

Last night about 9:15 we said to CAL that it was time to call it a night. CAL like he does every night, immediately headed to the bathroom. We know full well that this a delay tactic that he has developed to an art form. He will go in there and spend fifteen to twenty minutes, hmm doing his “business”. Basically he goes and then sits there talking to himself and playing with whatever toys he has in the bathtub. The entire time he will sit because if we try to hurry him along he starts grunting and groaning like crazy.

Hubby and I were on the couch and I had already yelled to him twice about hurrying up. Then Hubby and I hear him open the back of the toilet. We both looked at each other and said together “that doesn’t sound good”. CAL didn’t say anything so we just waited. Finally I said “is everything OK in there”. CAL responded with “Well, I, hum, I, think, oh, YES I NEED HELP *screaming like bloody murder*.

We jump up, run to open the door you certainly did not need one of those magnifiers to see the problem, the entire bathroom floor covered in about an inch of water. Now just so you understand there were several seconds possibly minutes between the time that we heard him in the back of the toilet until I finally asked if he was OK.

He opened the back of the toilet to stop the water from filling the tank/bowl. Pretty smart and it might have actually worked had he done it before the water ran over the top of the bowl.

I will leave out the next several minutes. Let’s just say that there was a lot of yelling by both mom and dad.

Long story short, he did his business and flushed it didn’t go so he waited for the tank to fill and flushed again. It still didn’t go so he waited and flushed a third time. Each time the bowl was just filling up more and more. I asked him “what is the world were you thinking”; he responded with “I wasn’t”. At least he was honest and helped clean up the mess and took lots of abuse from mom and dad.

It was well past 10:30 before we were able to go to bed. What a mess. It leaked down through the ceiling and into the laundry room. Thank goodness it was that bathroom. The other bathroom would have leaked into the stock room and you can pretty much guarantee that some parts would have been affected.

Thanks WB, do you have any other traits you would like to pass down? I am so afraid of the answer to this question.
