Oh, Dixie

This weekend Clyde noticed the toilet in the kids bathroom wasn't flushing very well. Initially we thought Cooper had overdone the toilet paper...he has a history of such. While in the midst of blaming him, his younger sister (guess which one) announced, "I put a cup in there." Now this may not have been quite as bad had my husband not gotten the fancy plastic dixie cups this time around instead of paper. Well, Clyde plunged that puppy to no avail, so we borrowed 'the snake' from my dad. If you don't know what that is, it's a long coiled metal tube that is designed to clear out the pipe by forcing the crap (pun intended) down. That didn't work either. So, we eventually were left no option but to pull the toilet off. Sure enough, stuck quite well in the trap was a little white plastic dixie cup.
