“
Voila!”, he proclaimed.
A small, blue oval was held aloft by the end of the needle-nose pliers.
“This was your problem,” he stated, as rain drizzled on our heads bent over the upside-down toilet lying in the grass.
My eyes grew large, as recognition hit me.
Grrr…
“Darling, little angels,” I exclaimed to his laughter.

Marbulous Marble Run |
Oh G-man, that was my tale of woe for you in 55 words.

Seen here is the blue disk discovered in its foiled escape from my house |
The Tale of my Toilet: Yes, my darling little angels were the ones at fault for all my loo's woes.
Just as I expected! The little blue oval was the landing pad for the marble game game shown above. It was wedged in the last bend of my commode's siphon tube, trying desperately to be flushed out to sea. Alas, all it was doing was backing up water and whatever other contents were placed into the latrine,
ahem. My tale does not have a shitty ending though, as life has returned to normal in the workings of my lavatory. And if you will excuse me, I think that the WC/Dunny/Privy is calling...
and remember, "If it's yellow, let it mellow. If it's brown flush it down" So says
Wikipedia, and so say I.
Bwahahaha! Happy Friday!!
groan...sorry....ack. smiles.
ReplyDeleteHaha Brian! I couldn't help, but follow up my 55 with a little toilety, humour-filled tale. :D

Oh how funny!!!
ReplyDeleteYou just have to laugh Cindy
ReplyDeleteor else I would never stop crying some days...
lol! This reminded me of the time (years and years ago) when the VCR stopped working. The repair man came and worked for a bit and then asked me to come over and hold out my hand. He placed about ten Cheerios in my hand. Apparently my youngest, then a toddler, thought the VCR was hungry!
ReplyDeleteGlad things are back to normal, kkrige!
The journey of life is a choose your own adventure. This tale is emerging into exciting chapters. Discovered your blog through Jannie Funster. Blessings to you wherever you are!
ReplyDelete* Delightful little angels, aren't they Talon?! I am thrilled every time I flush and I see the water disappear only to reappear sparkling and clean. Gotta love it!
ReplyDelete* Hi Liara
ReplyDeleteNice to meet you. Jannie is a great lady and hosts a fine place to meet people. Life certainly has adventures aplenty! Glad this one wasn't too scary! ha. BTW, I am in SW Ontario way up in Canada.
Oh, My. Goodness. Don't let legos mellow! Or put 'em in the loo.
ReplyDeleteReminds me of Kelly and her friend when they were both 6 flushing Barbie limbs down the toilet, arrrg. Kids.

Oh, how lovely Liara popped over. She is AMAZING -- as are you.
ReplyDeleteCan life get any better??
xoxo
oh yes I remember those daze...
ReplyDelete* Jannie, I expected to find something like that. I envisioned all kinds of things when I started to have problems, but had the toilet off twice and never found anything. Third time was a charm.
ReplyDeleteOh, I checked out Liara's site, but it has a bunch of errors in the code, so if you are talking to her, let her know. Cheers to toy-free toilets!!
* When do they end Kathew? when do they end...
