Party Pooper

Y’all, we live a simple life over here.

Small things give us quite the kick.

For instance, a new toilet creates quite the stir.

But, for you to truly understand my excitement, you have to understand our toilet history.

Yes, we have a toilet history.

I can’t even tell you how many times the toilet in our main bathroom has overflowed.

Many towels have been sacrificed to potty water.

And, this always happened at the most inconvenient times.

Going to homeschool group?

Overflow.

Going to Community Group?

Overflow.

Going to do anything important and on a time crunch?

Overflow.

Without fail.

After multiple times of this issue happening (I am referencing 2 years or so ago), Brent finally snaked it.

What did he find?

Toothbrushes.

You know, the ones you use to clean your teeth when you wake up and go to bed, or at least one should.

Well, apparently a really great place to keep them is in the S trap of the toilet.

2 of them to be exact.

2 toothbrushes!

Y’all, at the time we only had three kiddos brushing their teeth.

I hate to admit it, and some of you may cringe, but it looks like all three of them were sharing a toothbrush.

*gagging sounds*

Because the girls were all using a community toothbrush, we immediately replaced all toothbrushes – shared and toilet ones – with three brand new ones.

Now, two years later, additional overflows and numerous sacrificed towels, Brent purchased a new toilet.

*angelic singing*

Best Christmas ever!

And, to answer a question you may have, no toothbrushes, or other paraphernalia were found in the toilet itself.

But, now, the moment of truth.

Will it flush?

Now, test #2.

The toilet seat.

I don’t know about y’all’s kids, but mine like to drop the toilet seat like it’s on fire.

Cue ridiculously loud thud at 3am.

So, Brent gave it the ultimate test.

Our brand new, what we will deem a “Christmas toilet”, passed the test.

It flushes properly and doesn’t sound like the toilet will break when the lid is dropped by one of our kiddos.

And now, all that is left is to class it up.

Yep, our toilet is classed up with a Reindeer cover.

Brent said it’s important to water the reindeer.

Sprite said it’s also important to feed the reindeer.

And, I’m gonna assume y’all don’t need me to spell it out for you.

Anyway, if you need a classy, newly installed, completely working toilet to use, you know where to go.

Oh, let us not forget our previous toilet.

Brent made sure to not only class up the inside of our home, but also the front yard.

And, this was what popped into my head:

We are classy folk over here.

Classy.
