There might not be much love in the littlest room in the house but there’s plenty of humour.
Note before reading: Just 3 is still in toilet training mode. The potty is gone and using the big toilet calls for reinforcements. As much of a fan I am of cleaning other people’s urine (the mini Masters’) off the floor I would rather use that time for other endeavours. With this in mind we have invested in two ping pong balls. One is a basketball and the other: a soccer ball. One bobs around in the bowl of each toilet in our home so that no matter which toilet is free or whichever Just 3 is closest to when nature calls he can, ready, AIM, fire! at the ball.
Family had gathered at ours recently for a celebration. During this time beverages of the alcoholic variety were consumed and trips to the smallest room in the house began, myself included. Once they start there is a constant parade of people in and out, flushing, wiping and washing.
Mum pulled me aside after a brief pit stop and politely informed me that she had removed the ball from the toilet thinking that Just 3 had put it in there. I thanked her, explained and then dropped it back in.
I daren’t ask anyone who went into retrieval mode how they completed their mission.
Have you reclaimed something from your own toilet that really wasn’t supposed to be there in the first place? Ever had an experience while at someone else’s home? You might like to add a ping pong ball to the toilet at your next party. Even the Misters like to hit the target, apparently.
Ping pong anyone?

Rest room.
In Australia we call them toilets. There’s not much rest to be had in them. 🙂
Never at someone’s place, but I’ve had to fish combs, brushes, hairdryer, and other things out. A wobbly cabinet is above the toilet and my wife jams too much stuff into the lower cubby. Taking one thing out usually causes three more to fall.
Shouldn’t the lid be down anyway? Don’t blame the wife!
The lid doesn’t always close and sometimes pops off entirely. The ‘landlord’ (dad) won’t fix it and says we have to stop being so rough with it. I’m not even sure what that means. Does he think we’re ultimate fighting with the toilet?
Lol.
Ok. Blame the landlord.
If I were a toilet I’d put up a good fight before I let anyone sit on me.
My three year old pees sitting down! Crap, am I doing it wrong or turning him into a woman!???
lmao
Glad you could manage to get a crap in there.
We have a step so that Just 3 can ‘reach’.
Get a ping pong ball. Your son will probably have fun with it too.
It doesn’t flush? He has been peeing on the floor even while sitting down, so maybe I’ll switch him to standing. Seriously, he’s NEVER peed standing up in the house.
Seriously! It will not go down the S bend.
Switch and watch. He’ll be doing target practice in no time!
What an amazing idea, I think the wife will follow suit only to ensure that the men of the house comply with not wetting the seat… And it sounds like fun, makes me wanna go…
Pee time is fun again!
Hahaha, and that’s all I have…
wait till the two little men start sword fighting! and chances are the big guy will chime in:) I speak from experience!
Yes, we have had the two duelling. In toilet and shower too! At least they can’t write their name in the snow here.
yes, but i am certain you have bridges and streams and lakes and ponds…..
Mhmm.
And trees and bushes and bugs and fences!
there is that thing about guys marking their territory – oops wait – that would be animals.. oops:)
I have two boys who love putting stuff in there. I’ve had everything in there!!! Funny post:0
Thanks Michelle.
Yes we’ve had some objects deposited in there too. I hope they never do the royal flush though!
OMG..you are brilliant. I am running out now to get a ping pong ball to place in the toilet! Maybe then my 59 year old SO will be able to hit it instead of the floor, the sides, the lid, etc. Bravo!
Fluoro yellow ones work well in the dark too!
🙂
Around my place the ping pong ball may end up in a game of beer pong. Way too risky
John you always give me fodder.
Beer pong is a favourite here with my SO. That’s one reason the toilet ones are patterned. They are reserved for poo pong and pee pong NOT ping pong.
I’m a titch on the germ-a-phobe side so I can’t reach in toilets with my hands, but I can fish out just about anything with the toilet cleaner! 🙂 I tend to drop jewelry in the toilet alot…don’t ask…not sure how it happens so often! lol
Would you go in after your phone if the toilet cleaner couldn’t do the job?
DANG…hmmmm. I don’t know because I would never be sure if I got all the yucky toilet stuff off my phone. Not sure I could put it up to my face. I’m thinking it would be a great excuse to have to buy an iPhone 5! lol
I needed this today lol
