On a recent visit to a restaurant I took my 2 year old into the bathroom with me. He saw a sign above the toilet and asked me to read it; "Please Do Not flush sanitary napkins." You can imagine the interesting conversation we had after that but that's not where I am going with this.
Upon refelcting on this sign I thought how each family bathroom should have it's own "sign" above their toilets. Mine would read as follows:
PLEASE DO NOT FLUSH THE FOLLOWING...DOWN THE TOILET
*An entire roll of toilet paper at one time
*Batteries of ANY size
*Army Men
*Toothbrushes
*Your foot/Your brothers foot/ anyone's foot
*Kool Aid (or any substance that will change the toilet water to a new color)
*Dirty Socks/Clean Socks or Shoes
*Fish...if still alive (remind all kids that flushing fish will NOT help them become friends with Finding Nemo)
*Any toys that float or would naturally belong in the ocean. The toilet is NOT a whirl pool!
~IF IT COMES OUT OF YOUR BODY NATURALLY IT IS OK TO FLUSH~
Now comes the hard part....Teaching the little one's how to read *sigh*
