Panic in the Potty
We don't have a home phone. Because we are hip and so 21st century we just use my super cool pink RAZR instead. This situation worked really well until yesterday afternoon when I bent down to clean up Oliver's little potty. He had just finished filling it like a good boy when my phone sailed out of my front shirt pocket and dropped directly into the nearly full bowl. I panicked. I screamed. I suddenly thought of hundreds of people that I desperately needed to call. But my phone was dead. And wet. With a quick rinse, a few swipes of antibacterial wipes, a brief blow dry, and several hours of drying time, I was surprised to see that it was as good as new. So if you happen to be at my house and you need to borrow a phone, you are welcome to use mine. Just try not to think about where it has been. Because that might be gross.

Ew. Can you spray it with some Lysol or something?
ReplyDeleteHmmm, time for a belt clip? Ha, ha, ha!
ReplyDeleteOnce again, you made me laugh. I always look forward to your posts because they are LIFE.
ReplyDeleteginger, i had a belt clip! so nerdy. but since i am in the habit of accidentally dropping my phone, the belt clip has since been smashed to smithereens.
ReplyDeleteoh my goodness - I've nearly dropped my phone a couple times (while talking on it AND trying to help certian people aim etc.) into the potty - what a nightmare - I would have screamed, too!
ReplyDeleteMaybe you can design a cute holster for your phone... market it to busy stay at home moms!
ReplyDeletewhen justin and i were first dating, he was driving, and asked me to put his phone in my side compartment. without noticing, i put it in a huge cup of sprite. we didn't notice until a few hours later. he just let it air dry on the driveway, and it was as good as new too.
ReplyDeletewe don't have a home phone either. i would be devestated if that happened to me.
they need to create a 'pager' button for cell phones like they have for regular cordless phones... now there's an idea!
ReplyDeleteMy friends 6 yr old son dropped his eye glasses in the potty after using it, before getting in the bath... they had a nice sterilizing before their next use (o:
Several things have been dropped in the toilet at my house. But I'll never tell....
