We went to a water playdate this morning (you know you're jealous!) and the kids just wore their wet clothes home. Once home, Flora changed into dry clothes and I found the top of her swimsuit but not the bottoms. Here is the following conversation:
Me: Flora, where did you put your swimsuit bottoms?
Flora: In the toilet
Me: (helping Scout on the potty and not giving much thought to her answer) Where?
Flora: In the toilet
Me: (finish helping Scout and check the other toilet hoping hoping HOPING that I wouldn't have to dig a swimsuit out of it -- WHEW, no swimsuit in either toilet -- back to the living room to get to the bottom of this) Flora, WHERE did you put your swimsuit bottoms?
Flora: In the toilet
Me: I just checked the toilets and I didn't see any swimsuits.
Flora: Because I flushed it. I just flushed it down.
Me: (shocked, incredulous, getting frustrated) What!?? Flora!! WHY did you flush it down the toilet???
