This could be bad

I was busy reading blogs while Alex entertained himself with his Mega Blocks in the family room.  Suddenly, he got up and ran off, blocks in hand.  I didn't pay much attention.  I figured he was just taking them to his room.  Then I heard it.  The unmistakable sound of our master bathroom's toilet flushing.



Oh



Shit



I got up and ran to the bathroom to find Alex putting the toilet seat down.  "What did you do?"  I asked him.  He just grinned at me.  I opened the lid to find nothing in the bowl. I did a test flush.  Everything seemed to be in working order.



I ALWAYS keep the bathroom doors shut.  ALWAYS.  For just this reason.  Alex loves to flush the toilet and more than once I've found his Superman 12 inch action figure floating in the bowl.  However, today, we had a pest control service out to take care of a colony of ants who were building an empire in our master bath (DIE ANTS DIE!!!).  Apparently, he left the door open and, stupid me, I didn't go check it before setting the child free to roam the house.



I know this is going to come back to haunt me.  Possibly in a messy way involving a large plumber's bill.
