The kids' bathroom toilet nearly just overflowed.
I stood there in horror, shouting at my comatose husband, "I need a plunger!!!"
I couldn't walk away from the toilet and take the chance that my very interested audience of 3 and 4-year olds would get too curious about the liquid pouring over the top of their commode.
So I stayed perched over the toilet and I kept saying, er shouting, "I need a plunger!!"
At that last moment when I could see the mixture of potty water and 'potty' bulging over the rim, but not yet spilling over the edge - I made a personal preference decision.
The choices: A.)let it spill over and clean all the flooring, rugs, hall carpeting, my kids again yada yada yada
OR B.) jam my arm all the way down in there and force the clog down in the style of a 'human plunger' while choking back my instinctive response to puke.
I chose B.
It worked.
I have detoxed my arm all the way to my elbow.
The end result? I am not currently bleaching the floors, baseboards, towels, rugs, or participating in any type of scrubbing. I did not have to re-bathe my kids. I will not have to steam clean my carpets. That, my friends, is called living without regret.

Am I allowed to puke in your place? You, my friend, are AMAZING. I could have never, ever done that.
Wow. That's all I got. Wow.
I'm sorry brave one, my new hero, defender of the world from doodoo water, but I would have cleaned everything before I stuck my arm into an overflowing toilet and with my bare hand pushed the clog out!!!!
