Tragedy strikes
My mother called me at the office today to inform me that a slight tragedy befell my youngest after school.

Grandmother was off work today so decided to pick granddaughter up from school. As they arrived at Grandmother's house, granddaughter decided that she must race to the bathroom to make sure she got to go first.

Grandmother is calmly putting away her purse, keys, jacket....then hears a blood-curling scream of terror coming from the bathroom.

She runs to the bathroom with thoughts of finding a bloody broken child lying on the floor.

Instead of the worst she could imagine, Grandmother found granddaughter stuck in the toilet with her feet in the air. She was screaming, crying, peeing, and all her clothes were soaked.

Apparently Grandmother's boyfriend left the seat up and, in her rush to claim the toilet first, granddaughter didn't notice.

Of course, the main tragedy here is that Grandmother didn't think to grab her camera before extracting my youngest from the toilet.
