Toilet talk

So this is how the story goes. Ever since moving to our new house the boys bathroom toilet would get clogged a lot, usually by Kaleb. It was never unusual items just what is supposed to go down. After plunging the toilet at least once a week I told Joe we needed to purchase a new one. He ended up buying a toilet that would flush golf balls down. YIPPEE no more plunging! At least that is what I thought until last week. Kaleb came running into the kitchen to tell me that we had a problem. He told me water was coming out of the toilet but he had put the lid down to stop it from coming out. Needless to say when I got in the bathroom the water was still flowing out. After turning off the water, cleaning up the floor and, yes, plunging the toilet I thought it was taken care off. For the next week it kept getting plugged. We tried plunging, Drano, a snake, pulling the toilet off and anything else you can think of. Nothing helped. We needed help. This is where the plumber comes in. After a half in hour, a special snake tool and $60 our toilet is now unclogged. What was causing all the problem you ask. Earlier Rylee had told me there was a toothbrush down the toilet and I just blew him off. He was right as usual. There was a toothbrush wedged in the toilet. The plumber told Joe he has only pulled out toothbrushes in 4 toilets like ours. Aren't we one of the lucky ones. We were wondering what had happened to Brayden's toothbrush. We all learned a valuable lesson. Toothbrushes don't flush.
