I thought everyone had heard about the shortage by now...
« on: March 22, 2020, 10:08:37 am »
...Woke up this morning to my oldest yelling "Dad! Mitchell threw a whole roll of toilet paper in the toilet!!"  :o

Guess my 3 year old hasn't heard about the shortage... Time to lock up the spare rolls?  :D

set it aside...it'll dry out eventually (as long as he didn't pee on it) my kids (decades ago) threw a clear toothbrush down the toilet & flushed...took me 3 pull offs of the toilet to find out what the problem was .

Lots of things go down toilets. Long ago one of my kids flushed a 6" long toy motorcycle down--and it just went right through.

Tough luck, kid!

Haha, it was clean water, and only about half a roll. I always buy in bulk so had 36 rolls in the basement before I even heard of covid-19.

I saved it to dry, will probably use as fire starter.

I know a plastic toy tractor went down ours a couple weeks ago... we have a lift station in the backyard because we are lower than the city sewer. Fingers crossed it doesn't cause any problems there...
