I woke up randomly at 5 in the
morning on the verge of peeing my pants- not a normal occurrence for me.
Naturally, I went to the restroom, and just as I was climbing back into
bed next to AJ, I heard a sudden roaring sound. It sounded like someone
had turned on a REALLY LOUD faucet. I woke AJ and told him to go check it
out, because I was a little creeped out and didn't want a bad guy to get me. Groggily, AJ went to investigate while
I peeked over his shoulder. We were not expecting to find … what we found.

| The pipe. |
Our toilet had EXPLODED!! Standing in the bathroom doorway was like
standing next to Old Faithful- loud and wet.
The spray was getting everywhere and we couldn’t figure out where it was
coming from. The toilet bowl?! The tank? In a matter of seconds we had an inch deep
lake in our bathroom, and it was starting to soak our carpets. While AJ was getting drenched in the geyser, Gina
and I were grabbing towels and sopping up water. It took AJ a minute to find where the “leak”
was coming from and he soon had it shut off. That
little pipe, right there. Do you have any idea what happens when this sucker breaks?! Two words- Old Faithful … in your bathroom. (You should try it sometime- it is pretty exciting.)
We had all been so caught up in what we were doing AJ hadn’t realized
that Gina was there and Gina hadn’t realized AJ was indecent. (He had nothing on but his under garments; we
had been sleeping after all.) AJ grabbed
a damp towel and wrapped it around himself while we all continued to soak up
water and ring out towels in the tub and sink.
It took every single towel we owned to soak up all the water off the floor. All the while the kids were fast asleep in the next room- they didn't even stir. Seeing how it was so early in the morning
and we had all been up so late, after we were finished we all just crawled back
into bed and fell asleep again. This is, after I made AJ find something dry to wear. *giggles* The End.

| Our trash can. It is difficult to see but there is 2 - 2 1/2 inches of water down there. |
holy smokes! that's crazy!
ReplyDeleteI know right?! We just couldn't believe it.
DeleteWe had an early morning adventure 2 nights ago, at 3am our new next door neighbor decided to have a party and blast his music. We called the cops, they came and he shut off his music while the kept knocking. They left, then he turned it back on a little lower for another hour....so much fun. You look like you had more fun than us though.
ReplyDeleteMy goodness Manj, all of your neighbors seem to be gems. Have you had anymore problems with it since that first night?
DeleteOh ! Life"s adventures!
