Have you ever wondered what life must have been like when only outdoor plumbing was available? I don’t know about you but I feel as though I get up once or twice in the middle of the night to use the bathroom. I wouldn’t be too happy if that trip included putting on shoes, maybe a jacket and walking out behind a shed or garage in the dark in order to use the toilet. I think at that point the tub would have looked pretty good instead.
The reason that I’m bringing this up is because I had to call the plumber this weekend. I accidentally flushed one of my small lotion bottles down the toilet. It was the middle of the night and I was sitting on the toilet. I grabbed my lotion that was on the tank lid, used it, and threw it back over my head. Instead of landing on the tank lid it went right down the tank! I mean I flushed the toilet because I didn’t even realize it landed in the toilet and down the the tank it sailed. The plumber practically had to take the whole toilet out to find that lotion bottle. Oh the lessons in life are sometimes like the little things that make you go hmmmm.
