Prince Charming

Okay so let me set the scenario~~it's Thursday night, I'm finishing a glass of cabernet and watching the Real Housewives Of Atlanta ( yes I admit it, I totally dig all the Housewives and so does Anderson Cooper) and I must go potty. So off I go to the hall bath (thank you Jesus I turned the light on) and who greets me....

PRINCE CHARMING



Now I have heard tales of things coming up through the commode, but til now they were just urban myths. Well ladies all I can say is TURN THE LIGHT ON!!!!! From now on at my house it's lids down...

No animals were hurt in this little production~~thank goodness Mr. Sweet Pea was home. Can you picture the chaos otherwise? Prince Charming is now outside where I hope he stays.

Hugs,

Shelley

    That is amazing and too funny! I heard those urban legends for years and I've always felt a little silly when I put the lid down. No longer! A wild experience for you and Prince Charming!

    Lol...I guess it could have been worse! I keep a night light on in my bathroom. I don't want to sit on anything with 8 legs! Glad the hubby was home!

    OMG...I would have freaked out. I can handle any other kinds of things from the outside, but frogs and toads are not on my list! Glad you turned the light on!

    Now, I just learned a lesson. Turn the lights on every time. Yes, I will be turning them on for sure. Have a nice weekend. Sandi

    Funny you should post this today because... yesterday my honey pulled off his work boots & inside... a dead smashed salamander. How? When? ??? Life's mysteries. I guess we should both be happy it was frogs & salamanders & NOT A SNAKE! I've heard of snakes sneaking into homes. Ekkkkkkkkkkkk Have a great weekend.

    He looks like a cute commical commode character, out of a book.lol!

    Something you might see in an
    old chamber pot outside in a
    garden, but not on your inside potty.

    Seems things like this would
    happen in an outhouse and not
    indoor plumbing.

    I heard a story when I was young
    child about a snake once and ever
    since I check before sitting down.

    It is much healthier to put the lid down when flushing anyways. That way if you have a tooth brush out on the counter you won't be spreading germs on it.

    God Bless You and Yours!!!
