Lilly just clogged up the toilet in the bathroom the girls share! There was a huge poo and a mountain of toilet paper on top of it!
The water was overflowing when I entered the scene. A second earlier I was reprimanding Sophia for charging in on Lilly while she was in the bathroom, but thankfully she did because she's the one that yelled out about water all over the floor!
I bounded up the stairs at lightening speed and turned off the water, but it still kept pouring out. I ran downstairs to the garage for the plunger, but couldn't get it to plunge! Instead it created a nice poo soup and mixed everything up (sorry to be so graphic, but I am still so grossed out about it I have to share.) Don't worry I had gloves on during the process and have since thoroughly showered.
In the meantime I called out to the girls to bring towels from the linen closet and they kept throwing in facial wash clothes...the smallest towels we have.
I also asked Sophia to run to get Will. He came up, took one look and lost all color in his face. He got to skirt away unscathed because he had a "conference call" to attend.
It finally plunged. I'm washing an extra-large load of towels. I've scrubbed the floor, the toilet and I'm now onto the bathtub because it became the dirty towel holder. Oh how I wish we had a live-in house cleaner.

Second that... gross, but so funny now. What a cause for Sophia, thinking of the extreme scenario when she barges in on her husband 25 years from now, "just checking to make sure you hadn't stopped up the toilet, one time that happened and mom was so glad..."
