Toys in the toilet!

alekisio making sure daddy's doing it right


Poor Aisea had a tiring weekend. It starts friday. His aunt and uncle came over with their two kids, Huni who is five and Paea(Pie-uh) who just turned two. They were playing and Hifo (the aunt) and I decided to run to the drugstore. An hour later we returned to a trashed house and Aisea and his uncle staring at the TV. While we were gone Aisea had let Alekisio play in the bathtub, and Paea was wet from playing in the bathroom with him. I had to really hold my tongue when he told me to relax they're just kids. He can say that because he knows I'm the one cleaning up and not him.

Skip to Saturday morning when Alekisio wakes up and goes to the bathroom while I'm feeding Isabelle. He says, "Mommy, you have to come clean the toilet." What? I was thinking, "What is he talking about, doesn't he mean wipe his bottom?" I put Isabelle down and walked in to find a flooded toilet. I plunged that sucker for almost half an hour. Nothing. It was so gross. I closed the lid and we left to go to a garage sale and walmart. We came back later,equipped with a heavy duty black plunger I got at walmart, and it had drained but you can tell it was very slowly, so I flushed it. What was I thinking? I have no idea. It just flooded again. I tried with to plunge again with the same result. So I called Aisea and he said, "It was broken this morning before I left for work but I fixed it." Well it obviously wasn't fixed. He came home at around six and plunged again. What is it with men thinking they can do the same thing as a woman with a different result? I know how to plunge a toilet! That of course didn't work so he got out the snake. Nothing. It was blocked. He proceeded to take the whole toilet outside and push out whatever it was with the hose. That blue thing is about five inches long and is what came out. He thought that was it so he put the toilet back on. Paea has a history of flushing things in the toilet. That blue piece was part of a broken bath toy. That's what he gets for not watching the kids properly.

Oh but the story doesn't end there! Hehehe. I woke up for church on Sunday, late of course, and when I flushed the toilet it didn't flush right. I kept flushing and eventually it filled all the way up again. Aisea decided he was going to just take the toilet to the street and buy a new one. Paea had obviously flushed more than one toy down and he was tired of dealing with it. I guarantee thought that he hasn't learned his lesson about watching kids more closely. He's always telling me I worry too much. But toilets don't get clogged on my watch:).
