monkey nonsense

so i’ve been trained, after years of flooding problems (ask cousin jenny who experienced it firsthand when our toilets flooded on her before her shower), to hold down the toilet flusher for a few seconds to help the toilets flush.

however, not all toilets are like my parents. so this morning, at around 5am, i woke up to use talida’s BRAND NEW toilet, a low flush model… i think. in any case, the bowl is more oval-y and sloped more gently than the traditional bowl. it also doesn’t need the toilet flusher to be held down for a few extra seconds.

ruh roh =(

too be honest, i haven’t had to fix a toilet since high school (see parents’ flooding toilets)… maybe college? so i wasn’t sure what to do. after googling her bowl model (nothing helpful) and “toilet flush problems”, i finally found “How to Unclog a Toilet (with pictures)” on wikiHow!

so i left a note written on a paper towel (in case they woke up) and went downstairs to borrow a plunger. 5 minutes letter, no toilet bowl problems! AND NO FLOODING! (see parents’ flooding toilets) i was so excited… i needed to blog right away about how wikiHow solved my problem!

… i dont think talida and tim will invite me back once they read this entry.
