Oh Mrs. M!!!!!

Give her a bar of soap!

IN the toilet? Well, first off, that is dangerous from two standpoints! Bacteria ans she actually could drown! It only takes a spoonful of liquid, you know. It actually does happen!....You probably won't like my advise, Crafty. The little one would get a smart swat on the rear for starts and maybe time out. Then you can buy a lid clip, if needed that secures it down from children!! Strange thing for a child to like!

I know the dangers!! I just can't figure this kid out! The lid locks don't work - my grandson figured out how to take them off. As long as we keep the doors closed, she stays out but when my grandson opens it - poof she's in the commode!! I wonder if she's trying to take a bath or go to China!

Thanks for the advice.

Six inches Lord, that's all I need!

Wow! You have a problem! it's funny but it isn't!

Wonder what would happen if the flush didn't work for a while?,,,either unclip the hook from the chain or go behind and shut the water off.

I don't know where your located but major US Chain Stores carry Toilet Seat Locks
designed for children under three. Its a simple arm that flips over the seat.
On the net I see it at Drugstore.com for $3.99
and as the First Alert Child Safety Toilet Latch at $2.99 plus shipping.
Also great for keeping pets from drinking ...etc..I am not giving medical advice just suggesting where you might look - Good Luck...

Yes, I know you can get them at places like Lowes and Home Depot.

What do you do with an 18mo old little girl who likes to sit in the commode --

You could always tell her that sometimes things come UP the toilet! A fact my sister learned the hard way one late nite. Getting ones fanny (bartelby - this would be the US definition of the word) tickled by whiskers from a rather large rodent can definately be a deterrent to potty-play!

OMG!!! I havent laughed so hard in a long time!! Thank You for that BJ On a serious note though (well as serious as I tend to get) Having ones *Australian version of that word* tickled by whiskers from a rather large rodent would send me into a serious screaming frenzy. I can handle snakes, spiders and all forms of creepy crawlers - but I dont deal well with mice and especially rats.

A water python rodent can also be a deterrent to potty-play.

This appeared in the local newspaper shortly after my sisters encounter ... I keep it on my fridge to remind her of the experience whenever she visits

Have to admit, I was on my way to Snopes.com to check out your "urban legend" when I realized you said it happened to your SISTER! That's about as close to a first-hand account as I want to get!!!

Ick!

Gives me the heebie-jeebies just thinking about it!!

..stay tuned for the next episode....

While I'll concede that telling a youngster something could "come UP the toilet & getcha!" could very well end potty play, wouldn't it possibly screw up potty training big time?! I see a 10-yr-old STILL in diapers! PLUS a life-long patient for therapists! LOL!

Jabbergah                                                    

I concur with that, jabber!!

My husband was a plumbing contractor and honestly, it isn't that unususal to have rodents or snakes come up in toilet. Normally it would be in an old septic system that wasn't sealed.

Back to the original question...

Kids are usually afraid of that... things disappear down there. She's growing up to be quite a confident young lady, and not afraid to try anything!

How about moving that play to somewhere more suitable. Snatch her out of there, then go have some fun with her in the laundry tub? Bathtub would be OK, except it's in the same room.

This has become a silly, funny topic! How do we get soooo far off track? Lol! It's almost like the old game, telephone!!

Gold fish grave-yard. At least put a little tomb stone on the commode: "Here lies (drown) Gil - Rest in Peace - 1/1/04 - 2/1/04"

Not that many of us didn't need it before

I should also tell the rest of my sisters story, as it's a hoot ....

After feeling the tickling of whiskers she told me she realized the little noises she was hearing sounded like paddling. She stood up, saw the rat and then did one of those standing-in-place-runs that one sees in cartoons!

I just wonder who of the two were the most frightened! Imagine, after a long workout climbing/swimming through those pipes the next image you see is ...

Lol, bj...that brings up..well..

BJ I Love You! Greatest Story in years..My glasses fell off and I was actually Chocking with Laughter........ I HAVE TO TELL YOU WHAT I DID WITH YOUR STORY....
I have been trying for a year to evict a VERY undesireable co-tenent in this 140 year old priceless historical building where I live in the winter. She has done major damage but I really shudder at the legal battle to remove her.
Well. I met her at the mail box...she snarled
"HAL-LOW" your winter OK? actually No, I am on the way to the Doctors..yes I was bitten by one of the Norwegian water rats that come up the sewer line from the river. It happens every winter about this time after the River Freezes. You been bitten yet? Oh,..My God NO!!!.. well, be careful...and don't eat any corn, grain or bread there crafty as hell and can actually bite and get inside you ...before you can stand up...just keep a shotgun handy...

.I know I'm going to hell for this but I think it will do the trick. ,,I told the building owner and he's still Peeun his britches...Thanks BJ ...mory
