Just When You Thought You’d Seen Everything… I worked as a preschool teacher for 7 years and also have four children of my own. I was pretty sure I had seen absolutely everything with stuff that kids could pull, but was I sadly mistaken. It happened during the summer my youngest son was 3 years old. He was just starting to potty train and my four year old daughter just started using the potty. There was always someone running in and out of the bathroom. It was chaotic, but when you are a mom of four, you are used to living and breathing chaos. In the summer, I always seem to get one case of poison ivy rash. I am very sensitive to the plant. As I was gardening, I had brushed against a very small sprout of it. The rash, of course, spread on my legs and arms. I bought some Fels Naptha laundry soap at the store. The laundry soap helps dry out the poison ivy rash, and you can’t miss it. It is a huge bar of soap. It is as long as a regular bar and a half. I kept it on the counter in the master bathroom and periodically would wash the rash with it. During the time I was trying to combat my poison ivy, Johanna yelled from upstairs that the toilet was broken. I dropped everything I was doing and ran up the stairs two at a time, bracing myself for the worse. The toilet was over-flowing. I quickly turned the knob to stop the water and took out the plunger. The funny thing was that there really was nothing to plunge. You would expect wads of toilet paper etc. clogging up the works. It over-flowed for seemingly no reason. I plunged it out anyway. Later that day, my oldest daughter yells about the same thing. Again, nothing seemed to be clogging the toilet, and yet it over-flowed. It was frustrating and to make things worse, my rash was starting to itch again. I went in search of the Fels Naptha to wash off the rash, and I could not find it. I checked out the other bathroom that the kids use, and it wasn’t there. I also noticed that the regular bar soap was missing. It was strange. Then a thought sprang to my head, thinking of how the toilet was acting so strange. I wondered if one of the kids could have flushed the soap. I asked my three year old boy, Henry, if he flushed soap, and he quickly admitted that he did flush the soap. I wasn’t too happy to hear that, but was relieved in a sense that I solved the mystery of the missing soap and malfunctioning toilet. It was about 3:00pm and I had a little time on my hands, so I went to the garage and took down the “plumbing snake.” I figured that I could snake out the soap and be done with it. I tried to grab the soap with the snake, but it must have been too slippery. The snake just didn’t work. Then another thought came to me. Maybe someone else has had this happen to them before; maybe there’s advice on the Internet. I quickly typed my question into the search engine: “How can you get bar soap out if it were flushed down the toilet?” Believe it or not, there were answers posted. My three year old was not the only child ever to have flushed soap! I read one person’s advice and decided to give it a try. The advice was to pour buckets of hot water mixed with liquid dish soap in the toilet. Though, the hot water should not be boiling hot, since it could break the seal of the toilet. I tried doing this. It took several buckets and two hours of my time, but it worked. I think the soap dissolved enough that it flushed completely. After that ordeal, I only put liquid hand soap out for a few years. I was afraid to risk a repeat performance! All I can tell you is that with children, you need to expect the unexpected. It will happen. What can you infer about the author’s children? a. They are very active and curious. b. They lie around the house. c. They spend a lot of time on the computer. d.
