When he called, he was panicked because Bear had left the bathroom door open and the toilet lid up after going potty. We emphasize regularly that this is a very risky thing to do because Winston has turned into a regular little explorer. So, not one to pass on an opportunity like this, Winston snuck into the bathroom upon Bear's exit while John was in the kitchen making lunch, and quickly emptied the trashcan and the toilet bowl. Fortunately, she was only in there for about 3 minutes before the discovery was made. Also, and even more fortunate, the potty was clean and free of biological waste. I couldn't help but laugh, and John couldn't help but slam the phone down in my ear in response.

Here is the instant messaging that followed:

Him (12:35:30 PM): finally got Winston cleaned up...
Him (12:36:00 PM): she was drenched from the toilet water... water was all over the floor, the contents of the trash can was all over the place
Me (12:36:32 PM): good thing I'm not on my period
Me (12:36:51 PM): was there anything in the toilet?
Him (12:37:08 PM): we just got lucky that the trashcan was empty and the toilet was flushed and clear
Me (12:37:38 PM): i also put a sterilizing tablet in the tank about 2 weeks ago|||111040871741138119|||Splash Baby3/10/2005 05:24:28 PM|||Judy The Great|||well if that's the worst he has to deal with, then he's doing good. One wet baby and bathroom is not a big deal - it's funny... very funny. What a pussy for hanging up on you when you laughed.

Shoot my demons... er.. kids have had aventures with eggs, margarine, milk, cooking oil, orange juice, flooding the bathroom, pooping in crib and stripping naked, cutting their hair and cutting the fur of our pets. It's all laughable.
