Kids are Costly

Over the river and through the woods to Grandmothers' house we went. Joshua was 4ish. We noticed he had been in the bathroom a looooonnngggg time and then he was hustled out of there. We spent a lovely day, just visiting. Received a phone call from Noni not long after we got home. She could not find her contact case and her toilet wouldn't flush. HHHMMM..didn't take too many brain cells rubbing together to crack this case wide open. It was Sir Joshua in the bathroom armed with curiosity. Noni realized there were other odds and ends missing as well. Some mascara and other makeupy things. She actually had to have a neighbor come over and remove the toilet and break it open with a sledge hammer to get at the hidden prizes inside.
The damage in dollars...
Contacts $250 (hard, gas permeable, of course)
New Toilet $90

$340!!! Noni let us make monthly payments and she even forgave us the makeupy things. Not to worry, this will all be added onto Joshuas' tab!!
